I was honoured to receive the Editors’ Choice award for a Uxcel design challenge for a Halloween themed icon set.

The brief was to create a unique, Halloween themed icon set for a product we love. This case study details my process, from concept and iteration to the final submission.

1. Introduction

I started my research by looking through products that I love to use that have incredibly built icon sets. The icons needed to be consistent and playful.

My choice was Notion and the icons displayed in the sidebar with all their most important functionalities.

Then I created a list with all the icons that I wanted to adapt to the Halloween theme and organised everything to get a clear overview of the style, colours and theme.

2. Colour Palette

I created a small colour palette for the icon set based on the colours used on the sidebar, and I've also added an Halloween colour for icon details using the Notion's orange colour.

3. Moodboard

I researched ideas and concepts for each icon. Using Milanote, I organised a moodboard with different inspirations and references for the icons.
