SpellStruck Icons
Hicks.design had the privilege of working on SpellStruck, an Apple Arcade game developed for Disney by game developers Artist Arcade. My contribution was to create a unified set of icons to be used in the game, and build the promotional website.
The icons had to balance recognition with a more fun and dynamic style. I'm a fan of using two contrasting line weights in icons - I prefer to treat icons more like typefaces, and not just use a mono weight line. Fortunately the Artist Arcade team had already explored and decided on using two weights, and the result is all the better for it. The icons were created in Figma (my icon design app of choice) and then sent to Disney for approval.
The SpellStruck website was designed in-house by Artist Arcade, and built by Hicks.design using subtle CSS transforms and animations to create the effect of floating tiles.
