Icon Designs

Back in May of 2020, a friend of mine who worked for a conveyor belt company asked if I’d be interested in designing custom icons for their tablet, the ALMEXPAD Senior 3.0.

I was a little nervous — I’d never done anything quite like that before but was up for the challenge. I had been slowly been building my skills so I told myself, “Yeah, I got this!”

My first attempts turned out a wee bit too cute for the intended target audience (see the images below) and likely better-suited to a children’s book but some of the rejected sketches did evolve into some of the icons that were approved.

Designing icons for this project was a great experience and I learned a lot from it.

I designed 35 icons in total. Below is a small selection and some of my process.

Initial ideas.
