And that's a wrap for our unit on tools and materials. You can find extra links and resources [in the Links section] on the course site.
By now, you'll be able to:
- create and manipulate basic shapes
- work with paths to create custom shapes
- use boolean operations for more complex shapes
- apply fills, strokes, and corner radiuses
- organize your files with proper layer naming and structure
- and how to export your designs in various formats
I think that's worthy of a little celebration. You've got the basics down.
Starting your portfolio
If you completed the assignments, you can now add your icon design to your portfolio, and feel free to add any other Penpot designs you've created alongside me during this unit.
A portfolio is a bit like a CV or a resume, at the beginning you'll include everything you've created. Then, as your skills and experience develop, you can condense your portfolio to only include the work that best represents you and shows off your skills.
Did you get stuck? Did you have any questions during this unit? You can get help and feedback in the Penpot community. You can find me there most days.
