Step 1: What icons do I make?

This has really been the hardest part so far — both in set one, and while working on set two where it’s getting harder after each icon is made. Generally I’ve been asking friends what icons they’d find useful and creating lists from there.

Being a rather big fan of icons myself, I have a number of sets, so looking through those for common themes also helps. There are some icons that people expect to get, but I didn’t want a normal set, so I made sure that I’d hit 50% of the normal icons you find, with the other 50% being a mixed bag of whatever I could think of.

I was a boy scout, so I made a tent, square knot and campfire. We’re expecting our first child on Halloween, so I made a couple of baby icons [author’s note: Fred’s daughter Amelia Rose was born on 19 October 2011 — congratulations!]. I just cancelled my subscription to ManPacks, which is where the clothing icons came from. We recently had a rare tornado freak out in our area, thus the weather icons.

Inspiration has come from wherever I can find it.
