How-to Video for Icons

Deliverables

5 minute intro - what is the use of the icons. Instructional on creating icons - stylistics guidelines

Discuss how to take an existing icon - and stylize or modify to the OSE public domain version
Show example - such as making process diagrams or designs of products, or or pattern language representation
Talk about identity between CAD-BOM-Build-Icon
Usable in publications as section headings
Composite icons - use combinations of icons in one icon such as light box vs switched light example

Note on other icons needs:

Diagrams such as wall modules and their components

This is a clear case for adding colors and quntifiers such as 15 for 15 Amps

Electrical Diagrams but more human-readable
Hydraulic Diagrams but more human-readable
Circuit diagrams. Question arises - why not use existing symbols? Sure, but stylize them to fit with rest of OSE set.
