Hey all,

I'm new to graphic design and I'm pretty bad at it. Can someone point me in a direction to develop good icons. I am building a website for a cheap customer (who isn't) and I don't really have a budget to buy icons from a good designer.

I need 3 basic icons and I don't want to use ones that have been used a million times before. I need a "Log in here" icon, "Cart contents", and "Checkout"

does anyone have some good methods for developing icons?

Thanks

I have Photoshop 6 and Microangelo available.

It's basicly just drawing shapes in illustrator or using the pen tool in photoshop. Together with some nice fills of your favourite other icons such as winXP or Mac. There are a lot of tutorials for specific fills if you use google for it. If you can't find what you're looking for and if you have an example i would like to help you out. I'll keep this topic in mind. But creating icons basicly comes down to drawing as large as possible and (vector) resize it down to the appropriate size.
