Website Icons
All the icons used on this website is made using Adobe Illustrator. Each icon is made on a 1200 x 1200 pixel artboard. To ensure I keep the icons centered and have either the same height or width I use a grid guide where each grid square is 150 x 150 pixels.
All the icons are either 900 pixels wide or high. For more rectangular icons they are both. The reason for 1200 square artboard is to achieve space all around th icon which I wanted for the website.
I used certain stroke weight for the icons. Primary lines, which are the defining lines that make up the icon object, have a weight of 30 pixel. Secondary lines have a weight of 20 px and tertiery have 10 px. Secondary and tertiery lines is used for detail.
Some of these icons was originally drawn my hand when I made my former portfolio as I haven’t yet learned about vector graphics
Logos
Traning my skills in Adobe Illustrator is one of my favourite things to do to relax in my free time. Logos are used everywhere by companies, books, games and much more, So I like to come up with logos or try to recreate existing logos to learn how they might have been created.
The first logo, “Honeycomb”, Is a logo for a fictitious organisation called Serum-7. The original version was drawn. The hardest part was to make a hexagonal grid inside a hexagon which was a great learning section. The RM and RG was an attempt to make my initials into logos. LCDR was a logo I made for a group project just for fun.
The few logos, “Natur-huset” & “Lidl”, are existing logos I chose to re-create to see how it was done. “Natur-huset” was challenging as it wasn’t professionally made from the start, which is quite apparent.
