Final Icon Combinations

Reflection
This assignment was an interesting one. Having to use the deign process twice just to get the final project was interesting.

Favorite and Least Favorite
My favorite of these Icons would have to be War + Internet. I feel it came out neat and am pleased with it. My least favorite would be Internet + Cooking. If feel as tho I failed to make it interesting.

Combining Icons Grid

Project Goals
In this stage of the project we are going to take the icons from the first step and combine them into 15 new icons.

Process
We will start by brain storming thumbnails of the combinations. We will then make roughs and finalize the icons from the brainstormed thumbnails.

Icon Creation

Project Goals: In this step of the project the goal is to make 6 base Icons (War, Economy, Internet, Innovation, Cooking, Education) that will be used for the rest of the project.
Design Stages: We started by brainstorming ideas for the icon categories. We then made Icon thumbnails with the concepts we brainstormed. We then chose an Icon for each category and made a larger image of it.
