On this design I wanted to create a friendly but stand alone character. In my process I took an octopus ( per the design brief ) and added fun and curious features such as the colors, the way the eyes are placed, and the facial expression. I also wanted to convey the different areas of social media. Photos ( camera ), Blogs/Articles ( clipboard ), messaging ( pencil ). Each symbol of the character can stand alone or be all together. In the end I created a friendly character that would please any social media area.
