Icon Design
if a
picture is worth
a thousand
words…
…how many is an icon worth?
PowerText
PyrusMalus work with a number of Mac OS shareware developers, and were asked to create an icon for a forthcoming Mac OS X application, to be known as PowerText.

Ideas
The client had very specific ideas in mind regarding the composition of the icon, and wished to see how these ideas could be translated into an application icon. For example, during the design process, the client's request to include a lightning-bolt was modified to become a hybrid lightning-bolt-pen in order to convey the notion of text editing.
Development of PowerText icon
Process
This icon was created and edited using Photoshop in order to best express the subtle shading and effects that were required.
