First Icon, need feedback

hey i just did this icon, im still learning
so i want to take the same concept and make a pack of icons

what do u guys think?



thanks!

 

not bad...i like it the download font has to be larger...coz when the icon goes smaller...it has to be visible

 

not bad at all. very nice. though i thounk i would get rid of the downloads text all together. i think the arrow clearly says download in a symbolistic gesture. also maybe brighten the shine on the outside flap of the folder to make it more distinct. just some ideas. looks great though.

 

I agree. Loose the text. However, consider brightening the green arrow because when you shrink it, the current arrow may get lost in the blue. Nice work though.

 

try to make that arrow more glossy..that's all I guess

 

Hey man not bad at all. Only thing if you can make the arrow the same prespective that would be beter.

 

good work but one suggestion; remove the text and lessen the alpha of the above layer and lighten the color of the arrow, so that in miniature size it(dark green arrow) doesn't mix with dark blue color

cheers

 

It's okay.. but it looks a bit flat.. (the angle of the arrow isn't following the angle of the folder.. so the perception is a bit strange)

 

nice work carlops, keep up the good work!

 

like in this image:




how can i make the top cover more 3D like, looks too flat, simple, like just there

any ideas?

 

i think it's the thin-line shadows of the front cover, it makes the white background as if it's the same depth-level like the back cover, try playing with the shadows.

 

u just need to tilt the arrow in the same position as the folder icon(i.e. rest of the image)

 

Looks good to me, but yeah, loose the text.
