At this stage, aiming at ready-for-release quality tends to be a waste of time. It just needs to be good enough to evaluate the concepts. Pencil or pen on paper can help there, because a sketch is quite obvious a sketch. In contrast, roughed in vector-work will often just appear unfinished. Of course, some things are just easier to do with Inkscape :) > Based on Human icon set: > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5279564/artwork_team_1.svg > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5279564/artwork_team_2.svg > > Based on GNOME icon set: > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5279564/artwork_team_3.svg > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5279564/artwork_team_4.svg It would help to see just the symbols on one image. The type and symbol layout is a secondary concern, that can be dealt with after choosing a symbol. The paint brush on the 3/4 symbol needs an outline to separate it from the palette. As is, both build a single, confusing shape. Aside of that, it's a decent concept. Fastest way to get that outline is to duplicate the brush shape, give it an orange stroke, place it below the first brush and adjust the stroke width until it looks right. As a last step, if everything else has been tweaked, you can convert the outline path to a shape and subtract it from the palette shape. I wonder if we can find a symbol that has more to do with the design aspect, the planned and constructed approach. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
