Although a bit earlier than I wanted to announce this, an inside scoop on the latest Mac Developer Roundtable forced me to put up at least something. IconResource is my biggest new project.

What’s IconResource? It’s a video series aimed at intermediate computer users (no Photoshop knowledge required), and aims to teach you about the theory and techniques of icon design. Basically, it teaches you A-Z how to make icons, directly from the source. To get a good insight into its ‘features’, visit the preliminary website.

A select amount of individuals have already been invited to ’sample’ the videos before release, and I will adhere to my March 26th release to the public. Pricing will also be announced at that time.

For now, don’t hesitate to leave your feedback on this great new endeavour Cocoia is embarking upon!

  1. Wow this looks great. I’ve always wanted to make some icons but never knew where to start. I’ll have to give this a shot when it comes out.

  6. This is a great idea. A high quality, visual resource to learn how to make high quality visual resources. Long overdue.
    No longer must people work from buried, flat documentation in an attempt to learn and appreciate this craft.

    I await March 26th.

  11. I am not sure if you are planning on using Viddler to embed the videos, but if you are - I’m here to help you get it all set up. We have some unique features, like controlling the player with JavaScript, that might help you make a unique viewer experience.

    I’m here to help!
