Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode: a set of three flat, cheerful application icons—camera, music, and weather—complete with matching long shadows. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Flat icons use solid color fields without complex gradients. Their strength lies in simple shapes, bright colors, and consistency throughout the set. Create three circles with a diameter of 300 pixels arranged in a row with colors coral red, purple, and sky blue. The same base size is the key to consistency.
Step 2: Camera Symbol
In the first circle, arrange the camera from a rounded white box, a circular lens with a hole, and a small box as a button. Use the compound path for the lens hole. In the second circle, create a music note from two circles, two thin bars, and a connecting block on top.
Step 3: Music Symbol
Unite them to form one white shape.
Step 4: Weather Symbol
In the third circle, arrange a yellow sun peeking behind a white cloud, using the cloud from the united circle.
Step 5: Long Shadow
For each symbol, create a copy behind with a slightly darker color than its base. Then stretch it to the lower right and cut it with the base circle using a clipping mask. Long shadows add depth. Align the three icons, space them evenly, then save and export the icon set.
Done!
Done! We've created the foundation for a consistent icon set. Arranging the camera, music, and weather symbols, adding long shadows with clipping masks, and tidying up the set.
