Icon 84 (CompactFlash)
I want to do several more drive icons. We still have a few of the defaults left, but just for fun I think I will do the Compact Flash drive icon.
This one is nice because it is pretty common, so it should be useful to a lot of people.

Step 1:
First we draw out the shapes of the media with several rectangles.

Step 2:
Now I temporarily fill the shapes and group them. Then I lean the disk back with the Perspective Tool.

Step 3:
Now I want to give the edges some more detail so I draw a few more rectangles, making a groove on the side of the media.

| Step 4:
Now I would like to have a bit of texture on the plastic part of the media, I do this with our Interactive Transparency Techniques.

Step 5:
Now using simple Text Tools,and some rectangles, I make some details for the label.

Step 6:
