4.Reflection
My thoughts on this project was that it was a long process, but I'm happy with the way most these icons came out. The hardest part to this project though is combining them to fit and complement each other.

5.Favorite and Least Favorite
My favorite icons would be cooking/education and innovation/war. I worked on these longer than most of icons and I'm extremely satisfied on how they came out. My icons I dislike is cooking/innovation and war and education. It was frustrating to get them combined and tweak it to look nice.

Project Goals
Our goal is to combine the six icons into 15 different combinations.

Process
As with the previous post we start off brainstorming. Its much easier to do this with a group of people and discuss different ways of combining each icon. Again with each icon combination make a set of ten or more thumbnails. Ounce you have those combined icons in roughs scan them in at 600ppi in grey-scale and clean them up in Photoshop. You can vector these cleaned up files in Adobe Illustrator to make your mark-ups.

Project Goals

Our goal is to have 6 finished icons on six subjects in gestalt forms. 

Design Stages

We first start brainstorming on the six subjects by writing out key phrases, or words that relate to the subject. Second them out as thumbnails roughly and not too detailed. Do about ten or more for each subject. Then pick one of the thumbnails and create the rough. After you're done scan them in at 600ppi in greyscale. We can get into Photoshop and clean up our rough and make the comps. We can save these comps as bitmap since they will be only black and white.
