For this project, we were tasked with creating a set of icons with a theme of our choosing using Adobe Illustrator. The time at which this course ran was during Halloween, so I used that for my design inspiration. I used the 3D materials panel and adjusted the lighting to create a more realistic look in comparison to a traditional flat design. After creating the icons, we put them on a phone mockup to complete the design.

The Details
Below are a few icons that I am particularly proud of. I used the inflate 3D type after illustrating a flat design to create a more realistic look in each of the icons. Adjusting the way the light hit really helped to bring these designs to life.
My collection of icons were a mixture of spooky vintage mixed with cute ghosts. For the 3 icons below, I chose to illustrate a phonograph for music, a vintage inspired camera, and an old corded telephone.
