3D VA ICONS RESPONSIVE// Brief and Ideas

Create 19 Icons for use in a 3D viewer applications. Design 16 for the main workspace at 16x16px in RGB colour and three for use in the simulator at 24x24px in greyscale. The application is a general-purpose tool to quickly inspect 3D models, targeting hobbyist and professional 3D artists as well as developers working with 3D graphics.

The main task here is to not create anything that looks the last generation of toolbar icons and software like this is very prone to fall into this category. My task is to produce something which is much more up to date and can really utilise the newer generation of screens that 3D artists will be using by now as standard. However the size of the icons will still be set to 16x16px so I need to take great care to balance style with functionality, which will be key to winning this brief.

This image shows some development of ideas from left to right. These are not the final outcomes, just some idea I have been having as to how the icons are going to look.
