Hi!

Great! I plan to make another opensource photoshop files thread but I'm glad that you did it. There was an old opensource photoshop thread here a while ago (http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.p...hreadid=141561)

Photoshop File: Eclipse - 900k

I don't have enough time now but when I get back, I'll be sure to check your photoshop files

Small contribution, but a contribution none the less:

iConframe (click on image to download)


Here's a sample of how it can be used in combination with other icons:



It's not as great as the other icons posted here, but hey...I created it in an hour

I hate to ask, but could someone please release a copy of something JUST LIKE THIS



I think it would be nice to get all of my albums, but I don't want to wait around for this guy to release them.

You want a PSD with an empty CD case that you can pop in your Cover Art?

This icon are made in 512x512, then resized to 128x128 to add shadow and make some details more clear.

The Download pack include 512x512 temple as well 128x128 with shadow.

Ok! It's great to hear about different techniques. Looking forward to more PSD files. Why not post them on Adobe Studio Exchange too?

Cheers

Hey bombia any chance you'll post some more?

These are fun to recreate, of course they never come out nearly as well as yours but I feel proud of myself for sort of making my own icon
