Why am i attracted to the set of icons?
These set of icons are very unique. The flat, solid layered shapes make it more visually appealing to the eye. The contrast and vibrant colours liven up the icons all together.
What are the icons for and is this evident in the visual metaphors?
These icons seem to be common for a cell phone interface. You have messages, e-mail, camera, gallery, folders, music, home, settings, paint, etc. They are not complex nor busy in any way. The use of the rocket, skull, crown, lightning bolt and jewel really bring a different characteristic to this set which adds a lot of creativity than the normal, everyday icons we see.
How are the icons in the set unified: scale, colour, or other means?
The icon set is unified through the vibrant colours, small sizes without a boarder and simplistic geometric shapes that form one visual. They are simply designed and easy to make the connection visually.
What stylistic method is used on the symbols, and does the style contribute to conveying
the message? Why or why not?
You can tell that they belong in the same set by the way they are placed and layered with simple shapes and multiple colours, some of which are two different contrasts of one hue, which gives it a bit more depth.
