Mezzoblue: Icon Design: Sizing

http://mezzoblue.com/archives/2007/02/21/icon_design/
"I’ve been thinking a lot about icon design lately. As a way to get the hang of writing on this site again after the post-WDN lull, I figure it might be interesting to share some of the things I’ve been discovering. All going well, I’ve got two or three more similar posts in mind.

One of the more deceptively time-consuming things you’ll do when creating an icon is producing out size variations. If you require a single icon in more than one size, the time you spend designing the first size is only about two thirds of the work you’ll end up doing; the other third lies in tweaking it for different dimensions."
