Jo Bermejo, VCUQ Library, Icon development

After tracing my drawings and simplifying them several times, I had a set that I am happy with and proceeded to make some sample icons. I want the icons to have a rounded edge square based on the pattern of the bins in the library. Here are the first few icons i came up with:


The bin pattern that I based it upon:We had a class discussion and I showed them the initial icons. I was told that the image of the front view and side view of the phone is the one that works the best for my location. The rest either didn't look like they belong to a design school, or are still not simplified enough. I decided to stick to the two mobile phones, and from there I tried to follow a system of simplified objects that were drawn using a grid system. I chose to use a grid to reflect the organization and the orderly characteristic of the library.
Here are the first proper set of icons:

The top set shows the different sections of the library.
The bottom set shows what's prohibited in the library.
