| Mish | zequence: I changed the background for the audio icon to blue. They are here -- https://www.wuala.com/Mishrito/Icons/?key=CRBaTkk2DEln | 15:59 |
|---|---|---|
| Mish | The problem that I feel with this is that the old icons did not have simple one path shapes and covered too much of the icon real estate to convey the colour, which is actually the main focus | 15:59 |
| Mish | That is why in the icons I showed you last time, I tried to bring into focus the coloured background and object inside it was just nominally present, to give a slight hint of what it was for | 16:00 |
| zequence | I thought all of the icons were great, maybe just the one for publishing could be confused with graphics, and also, the photography icon - the shutters are maybe too small. You can't see clearly what it is, when the icon is small. So, I'd make the shutters extra large, so they are the main thing visually | 16:14 |
| zequence | Also, I find that the quality in the shapes could be improved upon. Something weird happens when zooming out of the icon. It starts to look hand drawn, even when it clearly isn't | 16:14 |
| zequence | I'd use white for the front, and color for the background | 16:15 |
| zequence | Depending on the background, sometimes the front could be black instead | 16:15 |
| zequence | Mish: ^ | 16:15 |
| zequence | Going cycling, so will be gone for a couple of hours | 16:16 |
| Mish | Yes I've fixed the photography, but haven't put it in the branch. WIll do that. And thickening the groove on the nib of the pen should fix Publishing too. | 16:41 |
| Mish | Zooming out of the icon? | 16:42 |
| Mish | But what I was trying to say is, the old icons weren't really made with colours in mind. So icons that should identifiable with a specific colour need to have objects which don't impose themselves so much | 16:45 |
| Mish | Publishing and Graphics are the only ones leaving out some space for the background | 16:47 |
| Mish | Also maintaining the value relationship between foreground and background is important for a unified look | 16:52 |
