Example of some of the many colorful emoji I created for Microsoft.
Each emoji requires a black and white version called a fallback. When a display system encounters a character that is not part of the repertoire of any of the other available fonts, a symbol from a fallback font is used instead.
Emoji I created using pure geometry. Each emoji is snapped to grid to ensure pixel perfection when rendered at smaller sizes.
I performed final production on all approved emoji. This involved creating individual Illustrator files with separated color layers.
Example of comp sheets used to explore various design iterations.
