Intro to Graphic Design: Illustrating Badges and Icons with Geometric Shapes

Sweet ideas &amp; sketches. Can't wait to see whatever you decide to go with. :)

I really like how your sketches are full of elements. I can't wait to see them turned into vectors (especially the cooking one and the hunter one) !

Both ideas are great and you've got some good sketches going on for both as well, it might even be worth trying out both on the computer to see which one starts to come together more effectively. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Dominic! I will experiment with both to see which concept works better in execution. I am starting to lean a little more towards archetypes. Lets see what happens.

I'm really feeling the Everyday Wins set. It's something I personally find much joy in and feel like it would resonate with a broader audience. I can't what to see how you interpret those badges. Your inspirational styles are some of my favorites. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Cool! I love both ideas but the second makes me giggle so like that one the most!

Brainstorm and ideas
I have been exploring 2 themes, and am still not entirely sure which to go with.&nbsp;
The first is "Everyday wins". The idea is a set of badges celebrating the everyday menial achievements that don't get the celebration they deserve. Its things like cleaning your apartment, cooking a great meal, or writing a long email to a friend overseas.&nbsp;
The other idea is "Vintage Archetypes" a set of badges depicting late 1800s archetypes like: "The&nbsp; Gentleman", "The hunter", "The Boxer", "The Butcher", "The Cowboy", "The Dancer", "The lady".&nbsp;
