A really handy script for Illustrator!

49 layers of icons in Illustrator, ready to exported as individual PNGs.

I found a script on Hicksdesign.co.uk that allows you to create, say, several icons each on a different layer in Illustrator, then export each layer individually as a PNG file.

The pathway on your hard drive for the script to be placed is Adobe Illustrator > Presets > Scripts.

Next, create your Illustrator file with different layers.

Finally, to export the layers as individual PNGs, simply use your Illustrator menu: File > Scripts > SaveLayersAsPNGArtboard

It works great – a handy script to already have loaded in Illustrator for when you really need it!

Read the brief article and get the script HERE.

Special thanks to Jay Colle for the tip.

Blueprint CSS

Here’s something I discovered recently. Blueprint CSS is a framework that provide you with a base set of style sheets. It has lots of nifty features like”resetting” the browsers’ defaults, assisting with gridded layouts, and establishing a base typography.

This has rapidly become part of my standard toolkit.
