Take your time, and once you’re done move on to the next step.Īdd the pin’s cutout using a 12 x 12 px circle (highlighted with red), which we will position onto the larger body as seen in the reference image. Start working on the location pin, by creating a 40 x 40 px circle, which we will color using #FFC550, and then center align to the underlying background positioning it at a distance of 16 px from its top edge.Īdjust the shape that we’ve just created by pinching its bottom anchor point by clicking on it using the Anchor Point Tool (Shift+C) to make it pointy.Īdjust the height of the pin, by selecting its bottom anchor point using the Direct Selection Tool (A) which we will then push to the bottom by a distance of 12 px ( right click > Transform > Move > Vertical > 12 px).Īdjust the roundness of the pin’s bottom transition, by turning on the Pixel Preview mode, and then individually selecting and positioning its side anchor points’s bottom handles at a distance of 16 px from their center. Take a couple of moments and draw the snaky path using a 4 px thick Stroke ( #422C21) using the reference image as your guide, making sure to select and group ( Control-G) all of the map’s composing sections once you’re done. Also, don’t forget to select and group ( control-G) all of the map’s three composing sections before moving on to the next step. Give the resulting shape a 4 px thick outline ( #422C21), grouping ( Control-G) and then positioning the two onto the left side of the center section.Ĭreate the right fold using a copy ( Control-C > Control-F) of the one that we’ve just finished working on, which we will vertically reflect ( right click > Transform > Reflect > Vertical) and then position onto the opposite side of the map. Then, before moving on select both shapes and group them together using the Control-G keyboard shortcut.Īdd the map’s left folded section using a 20 x 36 px rectangle ( #BFB3B2), which we will adjust by selecting and pushing its left anchor points downwards by a distance of 12 px ( right click > Transform > Move > Vertical > 12 px). Give the resulting shape an outline using the Stroke method, by creating a copy of it ( Control-C) which we will paste in front ( Control-F) and then adjust by first changing its color to #422C21, and then flipping its Fill with its Stroke ( Shift-X) making sure to set its Weight to 4 px and its Corner to Round Join. Once we’ve set up our project file, we can start working on the actual icon, and we will do so by creating its background using a 120 x 120 px circle, which we will color using #FF8D4D, and then center align to the underlying Artboard using the Align panel’s Horizontal and Vertical Align Center options.Ĭreate the map’s center section using a 40 x 36 px rectangle, which we will color using #EDE7E6, and then position onto the larger background, at a distance of 40 px from its left edge, and 48 px from its top one.Īdjust the shape of the rectangle that we’ve just created, by selecting its right anchor points using the Direct Selection Tool (A) which we will then push to the bottom by a distance of 12 px using the Move tool ( right click > Transform > Move > Vertical > 12 px). Quick tip: most of the indicated settings can be automatically triggered if you set the document’s Profile to Web, the only one that you’ll have to manually adjust being the Artboards Size (Width x Height).
