Designing the Collection of Process Icons: Indicating Time

18 August 2010 Filed in: From My Sketchbook

Here’s the third part of the story about a new design project I’m working on. It’s about the creative process of a new collection of icons called “Process”.

Today and tomorrow. Icon sketches

Today and tomorrow. Icon sketches

These are my sketches for icons that represent things that need to be taken care of “Today” and “Tomorrow”, or “Later”. Many of you have asked for “Today” and “Tomorrow” icons, some of you cooperate on projects where time needs to be specified, others need to schedule work to be published or for deadlines.

While I was working on these icons, I thought “what about adding the dates of a month, wouldn’t that be handy if you really need to indicate time with icons?”

So I made a few sketches to see what it would look like, and I’m thinking of adding a full month of days to the set. What do you think? [To be continued... ]

  1. I think that’s a fine idea! They look cute with the numbers, too. I love desk calendars…something about ripping the past day’s page off

    This was a great idea to do a series showing us what went into the set of icons.
