@wwwedran @cyanhex @ShopifyUX The exception being in education spaces, where they can be really powerful

@wwwedran @cyanhex @ShopifyUX It can (and is) be done!
buuut if you're pulling illustrations together from a library, they probably aren't *that* accurate to the content (& asset set gets bloated / bombs on overall quality checks)
Usually better to make less, more impactful, illustrations

@siddhartharun @dburka @DannPetty @Larkef @Gavmn @jamesm @burgioluca @health_icons You can easily paste between them — I say use which ever you’re most comfortable in 😊
(If you pick illustrator, you got to figure out another way to distribute your library to the larger team(s), aint no one else using illustrator but the icon makers)

@dburka @DannPetty @Larkef @Gavmn @jamesm @burgioluca @MegDraws @health_icons Is Illustrator still the go-to tool for icon design? I hear Figma is pretty powerful / capable for this as well.

If one were to begin learning icon design, where would they start?

@DannPetty @siddhartharun @Larkef @Gavmn @jamesm @burgioluca @dburka This is my fave icon book! It’s a bit more about the history tho
The icon handbook is (although a bit dated) a pretty good book for beginners — lots of tangible basics.
nngroup.com is also an excellent resource for understanding the thinking behind the rules.

@maedawip @slaterdesign Actually jokes, I don't recommend @MegDraws anymore, I recommend Evan. I've seen the way he makes chevrons. Truly a genius~

@yescynfria Some folks that have helped me be my best self and helped define some of these unanswered questions is @MegDraws and @taptodismiss. Whenever I struggled or needed help, they always shared their wisdom. Hands down, I owe them a lot for my growth as an IC.
