I am definitely more comfortable with the technical side of development, so the more artistic aspects are way out of my comfort zone. For this reason, I am starting off with simpler choices but hope to come back later and make my icons more realistic.
- Iconized
- 2D
- No Transparency
- Flat shading (on a spectrum, I want enough shading to look professional, but not necessarily “realistic”)
- Circular
- Axis of symmetry - Yes? I feel this one depends on the icon. For example, a sword may be symmetrical vertically, but maybe a magic spell has no symmetry.
