Icon-A-Day, Icon # 58, URL History Folder

Back into the folders.

A Icon a day Keeps the Creative
Icon 58 (URL History Folder)

Today we will start back up on the folders. In the process we will make a clock that we can use in several other places in our Icon Pack. Here we go.
So with no further ado, I give you the URL History folder.
Step 1:

We will start by copying the Web Folder, and removing the globe and cable.

 Step 2:

Now I use traditional drawing tools, a few circles and the Bezier Drawing tool to make a clock face.

 Step 3:

Now I group our clock together and lean it back with the perspective tool.

 
Step 4:

I use the Interactive Transparency tool to make the body of the clock appear like glass. 

Step 5:

With a series of gradients I fill out the hands. I also give them some standard drop shadows to give them some depth.

 Step 5:

Now using our Shadow techniques I give the clock some shadows.
Step 6

Now I simply move the clock in front of the folder, and give it a new reflection.
  

Completed Icon Image.

Tomorrow we will move on further through the folder Icons.

Cool one, Paul.

Question on the clock: Did you edit the individual circles with the transparency tool, or use the copy>crop method to create the depth? Or something else that I completely missed?

Yes there is one circle with two trimed copys that make up the edges of the glass.

Just a question: when are you going to make the recycle bin icons?

Okay, I have to admit I am failing the glass look trim procedure.

I got the sculpting, transparency texture fill stuff, but my copy trim method is severely lacking. I am offsetting one copy up and left, and one copy down and right, selecting all and then I get stuck because I am not finding a way to trim the excess edges outside the original. I keep resorting to copying and scaling, then aligning and sending to back, but the results are not quite right. I must be misunderstanding the procedure for this one.

Any chance of getting some step-by-step basics in one of the videos, or a text explanation. Sorry for the inconvenience?
