Do you know what’s true joy?
It’s when you get to relive childhood memories while working on your future self.
To design icons using golden ratio and create a fun layout for the ‘icon book’ with your partner.
My project partner and I started with the idea of working on an icon set that most people would be aware of. We wanted our icons to be playful and charming, and that led us to - ‘POKEMON’.
We agreed upon ‘Pokémon’, because first of all, who doesn’t know about this amazing cartoon. Secondly, it brings back the nostalgia of our carefree childhood days when choosing your favourite Pokémon was the hardest decision to make.
We started the process by researching about some of the most popular Pokemon. The chosen ones were Pikachu, Squirtle, Eevee, Vulpix, Charmander and Bulbasaur. Then we discussed ideas for the common characteristics. We decided upon the shape, eyes and mouth in most cases. We also decided to keep the colours as close to the original ones as possible. Finally, I designed the overall layout of the book while my friend was responsible for the golden ratio icons.
The book was also designed to have a playful feel, without compromising its essence as a ‘brand book’.
