25.11.09 Netmag article on Icon Design
8 commentsThis month’s .net magazine (#196 December) features my article ‘Design the perfect icon’. focussing on icon design for websites, rather than for software. It expands on the talk I gave at @media earlier this year Icons for Interaction
This is my first really big magazine article that I’ve written, and found 5500 words much harder than I thought, and probably won’t be writing another one in a hurry! However, I’m really pleased with result, and it’s given me an idea of how much harder it would be to write a book.

Did you get to do the visual design of the pages too, or did they handle that?
