So.... This is the final outcome of the icon design. Haha.
The icons is represent "home" and "contact". We do it in Pixel and Vector icons.
Here is the outcome:
Pixel icons:
Home
Contact
Vector icons:
Home
Contact

ReplyDelete2. i don't really know what's the contact-pixel icon. i see rainbow i think but i'm not sure about what it's trying to say. hmm
3. good work on the similar orange & red in the vector but for the pixel, only the background has a similar color. it would work better if they have other similarities in color as well.contact-vector can be cuter to suit the home-vector icon. however relating the icons to the fantasy theme has a bit of struggle. the mushroom house is good but the rest of the pixel & vector icon seems to be a bit lacking. try referencing more fantasy-themed artwork and take their prominent elements to suit to your work.
4. originality can be improved. the use of envelope for the icon is slightly unoriginal. i feel that there can be more things done to it other than the color and those stringy elements added to it. fantasy theme needs to be strengthened in your icon while bearing in mind the message that the icons are delivering. are they saying what you want them to say?
5. pixel-home and vector-contact is a bit simple. i'm not saying to add more things into the image but change the elements used. by making in to fantasy-like would be making it less simple. hmm well maybe for the pixel-home you can use a simplified castle or something because the icon now isn't really fantasy-like. contact-pixel still doesnt communicate a clear enough message. maybe the contact-pixel is too complicated that's why it's not saying a clear message.
6. strengthen fantasy theme! add more cuteness to it by controlling the colors and the roundness of shapes.the best would be to make them more like the mushroom house. give them a more magical feel. colours in the pixel icon needs some work.
7. not the pixel-contact icon, but for the rest would be quite okay
you did a good job on the vector-home icon and improving the rest would make the whole group of icons alot better. try your best :)
1.fantasy
ReplyDelete2.no
3.maybe
4.no
5.nice, and simple
6.for the Pixel icons, you should improve on it.
7.yes for Vector icons , no for pixel icons.
btw.I really like the both vector icons.
it show the msg and the function very well.and yeah, the design looks good too.
frm your lovely JW ;)
1.dont know
ReplyDelete2.it is clear but not clear all time when i see them...it not attractive...looks boring
3.it looks match...but not nice...the colour dosent attract me...
4.i think i have seen them b4...but dont know where, somewhere in a game i think...
5.i think it is not creative yet... looks not special...not like your own design...i didnt mean to say that, but is my suggestion...sometimes look simple...but after looks for a long time...will feel boring..and dont want see anymore...it is not attractive again...
6.you should change some colour...make it more attractive...make it more lively...dont make it feel bored...
7.actually, i dont know...cause it is not simple...for me...you should design simple and nice things...that will be better
1. Fantasy
ReplyDelete2. Yes.
3. Colors work well together.
4. Both look original to me.
5. Simple but nice. :D
6. Nothing?
7. Yes
1. dont know
ReplyDelete2. Only the mushroom, the rainbow i'm not really can recognize it
3.Not really, how to link the mushroom and the envelope together? as you told, its from the fantasy theme, the mushroom might give the feeling that its from fantasy group but not the envelope, it has nothing to do with it in your design
4. I think i had already seen it quite many times outside here, maybe you should modify more, but not just stick on the same design
5. The mushroom are complicated, envelope are too ...i just dont know how to say, isnt it is a CONTACT icon? but why it looks like a MESSAGE icon? Uhm..maybe its a MESSAGE icon that i misunderstand? i dont know. But it should be change, the envelope can be appear in various shape and pattern, remember what we learn in Design 1&2?
6. I had told in previous question, feel free to refer back :)
7.I might know what's the function of HOME but not the CONTACT. Like i said, contact shouldnt involve envelope that create another misunderstanding for people that thinking its a MESSAGE icon.
(I am straight in giving comment, sorry if i hurt you, but this is true)
1.b.no, idont know what the theme is...
ReplyDelete2.c.erm...not really...
3.very suitable and nice
4.nope, everything is fine
5.fine
6.something that reflects the function of it
7.i think it look like EA sports or football games
8.dont put too much tiny detail, it will look messy and sometime look blur in some computer
1) At first look, which do you think is the theme for the icons?
ReplyDeleteb) Fantasy
2) Can you recognize the pixel icons, like see it clearly?
a) Yes
3) What do you think about the colour? Does they belong to the same group/theme?
Kinda, but it lacks... Something. Not sure what it is, but I feel somethin' is lackin there, some colors fit but some don't.
4) Do you think the icons look original or have you seen it somewhere?
Hmm... Mushroom reminds me of the game MapleStory, but the rest feel completely original, IMO
5) What do you think of the design?
c) Not sure
6) What do you think I should change or improve the icons?
Pixel ones could do with a little more work to be clearer, the other ones work nicely.
7) Umm.... If these icons appear on your computer or mobile screen, will you know what it fuction is?
Hmm... Envelope for contact doesn't go well, at least in my mind, but aside from that it's nice.
1-C
ReplyDelete2-A
3-color for vector is nice but for the pixel icon can be improve.
4-i think is original
5-still ok.
6-pixeel icon can be improve. it doest really show wat is tat compare to the vectors.
7-i will know if its the vector icon but not the pixel.
1) At first look, which do you think is the theme for the icons?
ReplyDeleteif its to choose between those 4 answers, den its b) fantasy. however, without those answer selection, i cant feel any fantasy atmosphere at first sight.
2) Can you recognize the pixel icons, like see it clearly?
b) No. i must say, its no. cause i can only make out the home. and for your contacts icons, i cant make it out. the first contact icon doesnt remind me of contact. and for the 2nd contact icon, i can only think its "mail" at first sight.
3) What do you think about the colour? Does they belong to the same group/theme?
pixel icons looks like dey belong to the same group. while the 3rd and 4th icon looks stand alone, without any connection to the first 2 icons.
4) Do you think the icons look original or have you seen it somewhere?
part orginal. but for the pink one, reminds me too much of barbie, pony dat sort of thing. and for the 3rd icon. reminded me of games with mushroom for houses.
5) What do you think of the design?
a) Too simple
6) What do you think I should change or improve the icons?
more attention put into the icons. to make sure people will understand your icons and theme used.
7) Umm.... If these icons appear on your computer or mobile screen, will you know what it fuction is?
hardly.
1) At first look, which do you think is the theme for the icons?
ReplyDelete-(b) Fantasy
2) Can you recognize the pixel icons, like see it clearly?
-(b) No (well,it's actually yes for the home
pixel,but i can't regconize about the
rainbow thingy at the first sight.)
3) What do you think about the colour? Does they belong to the same group/theme?
-something seems wrong with the shape of rainbow,the rest okay.
4) Do you think the icons look original or have you seen it somewhere?
-seems original for me. =)
5) What do you think of the design?
-(d) Simple is the best
6) What do you think I should change or improve the icons?
-change abit the style of the cloud for the
first pixel,try yellow colour for the wall,orange for the door;shape of rainbow for the second pixel.
7) Umm.... If these icons appear on your computer or mobile screen, will you know what it fuction is?
- yup,as everything is also the same lar,house for HOME/letter for CONTACT.
1.not sure o. The message not strong enough.
ReplyDelete2.yes.
3.ya, the color is ok.
4.i think no prob. just the mushroom house we can see in the cartoon.
5.the design is just enough.
6.no comment.
7. ya, 1 is for home, and 2 is send message.
1. yeah little fantasy (clouds and mushroom house) but the envelope not very fantasy more like party)
ReplyDelete2. yes
home: a house on a cloud,
contact:a couple connected by a rainbow that looks like a phone* but kinda senget
3.colour for vector is good,
for icon lil bit... cos the contact have sweet blue and pink, but home is kinda not that colourful... err dunn noe lah
4. quite ori, the idea of mushroom kinda widely use but urs r very cute ^^
5. just nice, but the vector's contact kinda simple
6.for pixel:
home:the cloud kinda over the house cos it's bigger and brighter colour
for vector :
the evolope kinda not so strong in representing contact...
7. sure,
house for home, homepage
rainbow phone,for number seach, envelope for message
umm let's see...
ReplyDelete1. happiness
2. no and yes. the firts two are very small but i can see them tho. just not clearly. the second two looks great
3. yes i like the colors
4. yes i think these are creative, tho i'm sure you will improve your skills. (well there's no way i could do such stuff anyway so yay!)
5. they are really nice, not too simple but not too complicated either
6. well you could try to make them little larger (the first two) and more like you and less ordinary. you know. tho i still think they are cute
7. well it depends where i'd see them at. if at some home page, it would make sense.
there you go, lil sis n__n
