Very very clean end result. Not a huge fan of the couple shadow splotches put on top, but the rest is top notch!
( )Michael Thompson June 3rd
Yeah, the shadow’s could’ve been a bit softer and shaped differently.

Great techniques for so many other uses. I love being a Plus member. Best 9 bucks I ever spent. It’s a deal.

What a cool icon that would certainly would come in handy on a blog. Just from seeing the previews, I’m really curious as to how it’s made.

Thanks for this (and all your other) tuts. Great work Jonathan!
If you don’t mind me asking, how long does it take someone of your experience to conceptualize and create an icon like this – total time?

+ membership is great for tutorials like these. I think I might take a photo of a real issue of the Times and sub it in for the example given. GREAT TUT.
