Art & Design

What is in here

This is the working end of a creative practice rather than the finished output. Sketchbooks and notebooks, brushes and pens, palettes and paint, cameras for the photography side, statues and busts for classical references, and the geometric primitives that turn up in every design system: circles, squares, and the shapes you build a grid from.

Where these get used

Portfolio sites, design agencies and creative course pages use these to describe process, which is genuinely hard to illustrate without falling back on a stock photo of somebody at a laptop. They also work well as section markers in a case study, where a brush next to "concept" and a camera next to "shoot" saves a heading. Art supply shops, museums, printing services and craft marketplaces use them for navigation, and design tools use them for toolbars where a 3D icon reads as more tactile than a flat one. Typography and print services use the pen and brush sets across service pages, and stock and asset marketplaces use the camera and palette icons for media type filters, where a browsing user is scanning rather than reading.
