今年年初设计的东西，给百代唱片公司上海步升文化设计的几个方案，很遗憾的是目前项目终止，业已没有继续合作的希望，所以可以发上来晒晒。有些感觉我觉得还是挺有意思的，不过当时对方催促得很急，交稿时间也很短，没来得及深入调整，还有待完善。

很久没有发自己的作品了，这段时间在为工作忙碌，也没有什么实质性的作品，索性就发点去年业余时间做的作品吧。这是为Serverine画的奥运插图，一共12张，当时画得比较仓促，可能有些色彩的搭配不是很理想，大家先凑合看吧。配合一下最近的奥运火炬传递活动！
PS：请不要说什么"版权"之类的无聊话题，设计作品只为学习交流，不做任何商务用途。如果转载请注明出处。

一篇不错的文章，介绍了在icon设计过程中需要注意的10种错误，对于ui设计者来说，非常值得一看。
It is much easier to criticize somebody else’s work than to create something cool yourself. But if you apply a systematic approach to criticizing, make a numbered list and prepare illustrations, it will be regarded as a fully-fledged analysis! In my opinion, icon design is undergoing a transitional period. On the one hand, screen resolutions are increasing, hence enhancing icons. On the other hand, we still have good old pixels. Icons sized 16×16 and even smaller are still widely used. And so, here are the most commonly observed mistakes in icon design…
批评别人的作品比自己制作一个优秀的作品要容易得多。但如果你使用一个有系统的方式去批评，列出项目清单并准备好插图，它就会被认为是个成熟的分析！在我看来，图标设计正经历着一个过渡阶段。一方面，屏幕分辨率在增长，因此要提高图标品质。另一方面，我们仍拥有好的旧款图素。16X16乃至于更小的图标仍在被广泛使用。所以，这里为大家介绍一下在图标设计中很容易被观察到的错误。
1 Insufficient differentiation between icons/图标间差异不充分
Sometimes within one set of icons, we have icons that look alike and it is very hard to understand what is what. If you miss the legends, you can very easily get the icons mixed up.
有时，在一套图标中，我们的一些图标看起来很像，这让人很难分辨出哪个是哪个。如果你不注意说明，你会很容易把这些图标混在一起。
