Icon Arts and Farts
Posted: 2014-01-10 10:03
One of my little hobbies is playing with icons and their animate brethren, cursors. I collect them too.
I'll just let the images do the talking, as much as I can. I hope the original creators of these won't mind.
I like watching trends in icon design.
The kidlike, hand-scribbled style is a favourite of mine. Here's one of many examples.
I like to observe the result of people's imaginations.
And then the professionals show up.
Things can get a little weird. The pros can get away with it because they've mastered the principles of their art.
This looks like it was a challenge, even with all the high end software the pros use.
Often, you stumble across an inspired amateur, in the classic sense of the word.
And then, FINALLY....
We have a new trend. An advanced new set of artistic parameters.
And we, including the artists and the professionals, are being told how we are to accept it and how we are to think of it.
