Digital media tests

Baldy (one of my first designs)

Sticker set

• I decided to work with digital media just to see if the clean, solid lines and colors are suitable for the contemporary theme. I personally think that some of the designs look rather 'simple' and feels as if it were missing a few elements. Though I find it useful for when I plan on making these characters/stickers move. In a way the 'simple' designs look more coherent when it is animated. 

• After looking through my initial designs, I think that I would steer away from religious symbolisms/iconography. I thought of using the Buddhist hand posture because it is a very accurate depiction of the word 'pasrah'. It hasn't been done before within the Line official stickers. I researched into sticker designs within the Line Corp. that they specifically refrain from illustrating religious concepts to avoid any offence towards specific cultures/communities. Which is true and sensible. 

• The initial designs are very figurative and straight forward to begin with. I might try something more open to interpretation but coherent enough for people to understand the message the stickers are meant to communicate.
