The prompt
Write a brief for an icon representing {{concept}}, which will sit alongside
{{neighbours}}.
Say what it must read as at 16 points, where legibility dies first, and which
metaphors are already taken by its neighbours. Give three distinct directions, each
described in one sentence a designer could draw from.
Then name the direction most likely to be mistaken for something else, and what it
would be mistaken for.What to fill in
- {{concept}}
- What it represents — e.g. a reusable prompt with blanks to fill in
- {{neighbours}}
- Icons it sits next to — e.g. a tray, a cloud, a gear, a sparkle
