I used to have access to Adobe Suite. Most of my design work was done with Illustrator, Photoshop, Animate and (a little) Indesign. Now I want to replace that with opensource applications. And as an exersice I wanted to change the icons in a Adobe Suite kinda way.

Generate the icons using the [bash](all.sh) script as follows:
