VisCom2: "Ascending Everest" Crit Post.

The icon set has been completed in it's colored forms. In the end I actually ended up with 2 colored sets with 2 different applications.  Background choices were difficult but were ultimately left as a simple square with rounded corners.  This related to the trail marker of outdoor trails.


Here's the set:

Application to images and clothing and equipment brands was really my inspiration to the set. I would love to see these icons presented in a North Face catalog, or other outdoor zines.  The black background is needed when interacting with photography.  The background elements make the icons illegible otherwise.  The orange set was made to really pop from the imagery, and set it apart from any dark backgrounds where the squares might be drowned out.
