ICONSMADE
EASY
You can use icons for TONS of stuff!
CV’s
Posters
Presentations
Websites
And the best part is...
They are incredibly
easy to make!
All you need is…
PowerPoint
Or any programme that lets you
use shapes!
Because all icons are just
made up from shapes
And I’ll show you how we can create
impressive personalised icons TODAY!
Today we’ll look at:
This is useful for a home page
icon for websites or for home
contact details on your CV
To make this we will use a
familiar tool…
This is built into any PowerPoint
programme and I’m sure other
programmes have something
similar to use!
Select a rectangle with curved edges
STEP 1
Copy this shape and place it slightly
right but leaving a gap in-between
STEP 2
Create another rectangle and place
it on top of the others
STEP 3
The shapes we are using have a ‘fill
colour’ but no ‘outline colour’ …
IMPORTANT TO NOTE!
Otherwise we would notice where we
placed shaped on top of others!
Place a triangle on top of the shape
(arrange as appropriate)
STEP 4
Add a curved rectangle and rotate so it
fits level with the rest of the shape
STEP 5
Copy this shape and rotate as necessary
STEP 6
Add a circle as send it backwards so it
sits behind the house
STEP 7
Give the circle an outline
(the same colour as your house)
STEP 8
Group all your shapes together so they
can be moved easily
STEP 9
Now you can change the colour of your
home icon to fit in with your work
YOU’RE FINISHED!
It really is that easy!
If there is anything in particular you
want help to create just let me know
and I will give it a go!
