27 Arrow icons for 20inspirations

[elli]

I made it! My first time finished 20inspirations entry. The challenge was to create icons using Text. Somehow that is always extra difficult. Also I overused a font called Mouser. More specifications can be found here.

Yay, Arrow icons! Text is difficult, but you've done a great job. And I'm saving a load of these - thanks!

[elli]

Text is so difficult. I wanted to have ,ore variation. But I always came back to this font, because I just loved the result the best.

Thank you :)

It's a great font - I have just a tiny handful of fonts that I really love.

[elli]

Yeah me too. Most of the brush like font is actually handwritten with my pad too. Sine I think handwritten fonts are to clean.

Oh, these are great! Love the font you used a lot, and all the other font choices as well. They're clear and strong and fit these icons so well.
Love the overall clarity in these icons too, especially the use of negative space and the simple, effective text arrangements. It's difficult to choose favorites, but I really love 5 (I love that I see more gorgeous details the longer I look at this icon - the blending is amazing, the light sepia looks gorgeous, and I adore how the text blends into the icons so seamlessly), 10 (love what you did with the text repetition here, really creative and awesome look), 13 (fantastic combination of different sized text in a great arrangement again), 14 (love the deep greens and the crop), and 18 (perfect text placement and the extreme negative space looks great!).

Gorgeous entry and congrats on finishing your first 20insp set!

(btw, your link at 20insp doesn't work - just thought I'd mention, even though the entry is easy enough to find just browsing this comm :) )

I love the font. It has just the right strength for icons I think.
I'm glad you like the clarity. After A while I kept thinking that it's boring and they all look the same. Which is how 05 came to be in the first place. A lot more was happening it it at first but I kept taking stuff out, to make it less mess. So I'm glad you like that one especially.

So thank you for the in debth feedback. That means a lot.

And I noticed that earlier. I have fixed it :)

Gosh, this show. :) I love the text placement and colors on 3 and 20. Esp the background for 20! (Your table is also kind of amazing.)

[elli]

The background of 20 is actually a photograph of mine ;) So thank you :D

The table is made with html5 tags combined with css3. It was quite fun to do this and not sure tables.

[incandescent]

Oh, is it? That's amazing!

I'm terrible with tables. But I know I'll be making one soon, so maybe I'll just... borrow some of your coding, if that's all right.

[elli]

Thanks :)

And you can borrow the coding if you like. I hope you get what I was doing there.

i love the pastel colours of your entire set. it's so qt and ~spring-y :D

[elli]

Heeee... I'm glad. I'm hoping for spring! Maybe that is why I was influenced ;)
