sketches
sketching
After addressing pain points of current icon system, I develop some ideas and sketched those icons with paper and pencil.
guidelines
Setting standard
Before begining to design icons, I created a deep-dive design icon system, making sure that all icons will follow the standard.
roadblocks
Facing challenges
On the making process, I ran into some challenges and had difficulty to re-create the visual of some icons.
The Washing Machine
I tried different versions of the washing machine. Thanks to my mentor, Ashley, she suggests me to remake the actual washing machine in the warehouse
Inspection Station
The inspection station is where employees check the materials and condition of clothes. I tried different versions but decided to draw the actual station in reality.
results
Problem-solved
After 4 weeks of continuous reflection and feedbacks from my mentor, I was able to complete the icon system. Now, this new icon system is currently being used.
