9 important technologies<\/p><\/div>\n

Hey, all. I decided that today I’d celebrate some of my favorite technologies. IconDock<\/a> at http:\/\/icondock.com made this easy on me, as they distribute vector based icons for a whole boatload of social media<\/a> and technology companies in a icon pack. However, that’s not what you see here. I took my own favorite icons from that set, sized them up, converted to bitmap (ctrl-m), bitmap traced them to get an outline, and then aligned the outlines into a 9 up grid. Then the fun began. Using the calligraphy tool in Inkscape<\/a>, along with the eyedropper tool and the original icons, I would use the eyedropper to pick colors from the originals, then apply the colors in a painterly fashion on top of the outlines I had created. After I was satisfied with all of the color, I brought the outlines back to the front. Really loved this process!<\/p>\n
