So my proposal is to make desktop icons based on analog items. I'm not really trying to re-invent the wheel with this, but just to propose a more customized feel and try to streamline workflow. I'm looking at the relative sizes of the objects im trying to iconosize and relate to their real world dimensions. i.e. sketchbook is larger than a pencil. I'm not sure yet how the spatial aspect is going to relate yet though. I'm trying to group the larger, broader categories together and form subsets of each. And I want them to have a "print" feel...
Great find and good idea. I think the analog printed icons will be a beautiful juxtaposition in the digital setting. I hope they are also easy to comprehend!
