Another illustration before the night is done! One of the founders of Sunnytrail (one of the companies in the GrowLab cohort) has the tendency of saying unexpectedly awesome things, that have led us to believe that he’s an evil genius. I’ve somehow been convinced to draw the t-shirts?

Holy cats, I think I may run out of icon-magic after this week. More icons for you! Matygo is launching their market place, I’m lending a hand.

And of course, every icon needs a home..

Well, if you keep up with my tumblr, you’ll know I was having some trouble with the “Find People” icon. I couldn’t decide if it should be “FIND people” or “find PEOPLE.”
I came up with some sketches emphasizing each direction, but none of them really captured both.

I got some great feedback from Dylan Patty & NightofReason (thanks!!) But ultimately went with this direction:

I figured that you only really want to “FIND people” when you first download the app, and want to populate it with people/things that make the app worth using. But this icon is to stay on your homescreen *forever* long after you’ve found all of the people that you intend to find. After that, you’re not really interested in “FINDING people” you just want to “find PEOPLE.”
Ergo, People > the finding thereof.
So, here’s what I came up with.

And of course, it needs a home, with the rest of the home page icon set …

Guys. I can’t decide what’s more important about finding people, the Finding of them, or the people? ie. is it *FIND* people, or is it find *PEOPLE*
I’m working on an icon to fit with this set.

So. Here’s what I’ve got…

Close up of the contenders…

First, you sketch …

Then you digitize…

Then you give them a home :)

Seeeeeeee…?

Well, I’ve already started iterating on these - but I forgot that the best part of posting things is watching them evolve! So, to that point, I thought I would post the first round of the Placeling webplates *PRE* feedback. I would love to hear your thoughts. Oh, I should preface this with that the illustration in the footer is intended to change with each page … the illustrations have just been a bit on the back burner lately.
Profile page with activity feed

Oh, and you can do a bit of hover business with the header

Complete with a drawer for places & tags…

And a little hover action too…

And a Tag Page…

And finally, a photo page
