New freebie! Fresh! Decorate websites, make background patterns, illustrate recipes and gift cards with this set of vector icons inspired by cafeterias.

I’d like to mention that MyInkBlog has published an article of mine with best practices for impressing your clients.

For my first ever inspiration list I’d like to show ten websites with great icons.

My latest work is a set of six vector icons created around a camping theme. In this article I’ll discuss my design process and the fruitful collaboration with the client.

You might have heard about Semantic Code. It’s a coding best practice whereby, for example, one wraps block content in a block element (div, p, etc.), inline content in an inline element (span), lists in list elements (ul, ol), you get the drift.

UPDATE – Sept. 20th 2009: The system described in this tutorial is no longer in use in the new website. I’ll update the tutorial as soon as possible with picture references of the old system.

As anticipated in a recent post I have set out to turn my Portfolio and Freebies pages into dynamic lists that update automatically every time I add new content. The process is finally complete. Here’s how I did it.

UPDATE – Aug. 25th 2009: The Breakfast Icons set is now available!

The Moka Express coffee maker is what Italians use everyday for coffee. I made this icon as part of a “breakfast icon set” that will be published soon. Since this icon is the object of a tutorial I wrote for Psdtuts+ I thought I’d publish it while I complete the set.

Psdtuts+, one of the best online resources for Photoshop users, has published a tutorial I wrote entitled “How To Create a Moka Express Icon.”

Chimay is my favorite beer. I had to create these icons!

Crack that whip! Just some icon I cooked a couple of weeks ago.
