See this course’s project requirements
An original three-icon SVG kit with 32 px and 64 px PNG variants, a reference sheet and a usage readme.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Three original icons: book, ticket and chat.
- A 64 px grid, explicit margins and consistent 4 px base stroke.
- An editable source and two checked raster sizes per icon.
- A side-by-side family sheet with small-size review notes.

The idea in everyday life
Open club-book.svg. Delete the rough drawing. Target two adjoining 20×32 px pages at x12, y16 and x32, y16 with 4 px strokes; use the selector toolbar to enter dimensions and position in px.
Simple editable parts are easier to revise than a large number of hand-drawn points.
Build a book from editable shapes — guided practice
Use rectangles and stroke controls to build a clear symbol.
Open club-book.svg. Delete the rough drawing. Target two adjoining 20×32 px pages at x12, y16 and x32, y16 with 4 px strokes; use the selector toolbar to enter dimensions and position in px.
1. Step 1
Choose Rectangle and drag a rectangle. Switch to Selector; enter X 12, Y16, W20, H32 with width/height lock off.
You should see: First page bounds are 20×32 px.
Set a reproducible starting state.
2. Step 2
Set fill none and stroke 202938 ff, width 4 px. Duplicate with Ctrl+D and set X 32, Y16.
You should see: Second page is the same size.
Use editable geometry and explicit values.
3. Step 3
Select both shapes and inspect the shared seam. Convert to paths only if required later; keep these rectangles editable now.
You should see: Two pages share an edge at x32.
Check the result against the visual specification.
4. Step 4
Save the SVG. Zoom to 100% and confirm the book reads as two pages without a text label.
You should see: The symbol is readable at its intended display size.
Preserve evidence for the next stage.
What to finish
The symbol is readable at its intended display size. Save the corresponding source and notes.
Watch for this
Do not substitute a screenshot for the editable SVG.
