Why hello there.  As a way to get some graphic design practice, I've decided to start building an icon library.  

What's an icon library?  Well, Most web developers (including yours truly) need a lot of stock icons at their disposal so that they can rapidly develop new sites without having to draw out every single component.  These can also be helpful when making Powerpoint presentations, videos, etc.

So yeah, I'm going to try building one.  There are a ton of these out there so this is more for practice than anything, but I'm still interested in making things people might use.  If you have any need for designs, let me know and I'll give it my best shot.

The image you see above is my first crack at making a few people icons.  I'm going to try some different styles to figure out what the overall feel should be for this library.  I'll be asking for feedback as I go.

In case you're curious, unless I state otherwise, all graphics I add to the icon library are drawn completely from scratch using Fireworks.

I'm horribly off topic this weekend.  I meant to work on my logo design skills but different things kept drawing my attention.  Despite my lack of focus, I'm pretty pleased with what this design weekend turned into.

I just made a website mockup for a fictional company based in park city (click here to see it).  This is inspired by some websites I've seen recently.  I've never made a site based entirely off a vector drawing but I think it's pretty sweet.  Kinda cartoony but still professional enough to keep people from dismissing you.

Anyway, check out the design.  I still need a lot of work on my vector skills, but this is the first step.  I'd love to hear any ideas on how I could improve this.

For those of you in Park City, this is based off the Sunrise run with Jupiter in the background.  I ended up changing things around enough that it looks nothing like the real thing now.  Maybe I should add a couple people hiking Jupe.
