designing intensifies
🕑 Added 2019-07-15 23:34:29 +0000 UTCDoing a thing for my GW2 server, we have this official artwork as inspo for a new discord icon. Showing it for comparison and to let you guys know that I'm using refs.
So I've been pretending to be a designer this whole evening. It's fun. There's a striking difference and I feel retarded 8'D No skill or knowledge, only intuition "if this looks alright". I took a crash course design 101, googled some fonts, played around with ideas.. Presenting you the results in chronological order. They're improving..



Current stage. Icon obviously should look good/readable in smaller sizes.
Edit: imgur album with final animated versions. Reminder, they're for my GW2 server discord so please no touchy, only look :P

Chronological in this case means as I kept working on it C:

Chronological order... as in, descending? Because the last one in that row is very blocky by that point. Unless that's the goal and I don't get what "designing" means in this context. :O
