Behind the Design
As always, here are some insights from the designers:
PixelsDaily is a collection of free and commercial resources for designers. We publish pixel-perfect freebies that are perfect for building up your design collection. We wanted to do something special for Smashing Magazine readers, so we commissioned an incredibly talented icon designer — Artem Borysenko — to craft this special icon set.
Thanks, Artem and PixelsDaily! We sincerely appreciate your time and goodwill.
