Project Brief
How might I express my fellow Snap Design Academy scholar, Mike Anagnostis’ personality, vibe and interests in a cohesive manner?
Solution
Create a 6 icon set using only 2 colors .
Time
4 days
Process
Interviewing Mike Anagnostis
Slack conversations/interviews between Mike and myself.
Quick overview about my fellow SDA scholar:
• He’s an avid hiker
• Prior to the pandemic he was huge on going to the the movie theater
• He likes metal music
• Enjoys playing first shooter games
• Mediation and nature helps him stay grounded
• One of his proudest achievements was troubleshooting a a navy plane and getting it ready for take off in under a minute as avionics technician
Sketches
Thumbnail sketches with adjectives for Mike
After interviewing Mike I wrote some adjectives down and started to quickly draw icons that were associated with the word.
Icon set with Snap yellow
Reflection
I had difficulty simplifying the avionics technician icon and having it translate the idea clearly. I think what I would do over is experiment a bit more with line weight or make the icons filled versus just line based.
