While beginning a new project I not only focus on subject matter, but I really try to hone in on color schemes as well. I find this allows my final product to seem more rich and connect with the audience more.
Final Sketch Work
For this project I wanted to create a number of icons to give me the ability to pick and choose which would work best together.
Pattern Studies
Color Exploration
Using what I learned from my research, I used color to showcase a more retro feeling.
Final Color Work and Icons Chosen
After seeing which patterns did and didn't work I went in and colored my final icon work.
