The Art Professions Icons set would not be out of place in an artist's portfolio website, be they cook or painter — or even multi-talented. Imagine these icons guiding a modern art gallery's visitor through the institution's online presence and you won't feel let down. Any site remotely representing artistic efforts, finally, has a homogenous set at its disposal. Furthermore, the geniuses at BanzaiTokio did Smashing Magazine the honor of designing an icon just for us, which you will also find below.

Please always credit the original designer of the set. The icons may not be resold, sub-licensed, rented, transferred or otherwise made available for use.

Behind The Design

As always, here are some insights from the designers:

"We see a lot of icons created for business and general public - social networking and ecommerce, what bothered us is that fellow creatives - writers, painters, sculptors and many others were overlooked and we made it our goal to create icons for every creative activity there is. Now artists can use these icons to showcase different sections of their portfolio websites and blog writers can have a complete coverage of all creative activities." — BanzaiTokio

Thanks, BanzaiTokio, for being creative for the creative community!

by Jim Bosveld

In Web design, as one of the seemingly few markets that is actually growing, job opening postings are common. They're not all equally convincing, though. In fact, most of them are unpleasant, uninviting and sometimes bordering on hostile. Some, however, are great, and give you an honest and pleasant sense of what it's like to work at the studio in question, and, in the best cases, what makes a...
