原文摘录

“Trying to capture the essence of an object or idea with only a few lines and at the same time maintaining its elegance is pretty much design in a nutshell. That’s what’s so great about icons, they’re tiny poems.”
Kyle Tezak, The Four Icon Challenge (查看原文)

侧重于技术层面，虽然更想看到设计师的创意手稿和制作过程，但此书在图标设计方面已是佼佼者。

虽是几年前著的，各种设备和平台的标准已略有不同，但此书还是将关键的点列举到位，访谈几位经典图标设计作者的创作思路，对人很有启发。附录里还提到如今相当流行的UI设计应用SketchApp。原来SketchApp当年是专为矢量设计而推，当下的版本是重构而来。可见Skech在挖掘用户痛点需求上抓得很准。

从这本书小了解了下icon的设计是咋弄的，有些意思。做个手册不错，设计思想讲的不多。

第一章和第二章有一些有意思的料，书里穿插了很多大拿的访谈，后面倾向操作性比较强的基础教程，算是相当不错的基础读物了
