Final outcome : ICON

This is my icon . The first you can see that's a light bulb . Look through it , it is actually a snail inside of the light bulb , and is squeezing . Around the snail , that are bubbles . I applied my icon to the book . I used a light bulb , because light bulb can pointed u to the right way and can bright up . Not only that , when you're thinking the light bulb will appeared in your mind is like " DING " . The squeezing snail inside the light bulb that is because i like snail and usually i drew snail and i wanna make it more cartoon cause is for a story books . Not only that , the snail's shell actually is something there . There is a green color with alphabet "J" , green represented nature . The pink "Y" , that represented sweet . The following alphabet light blue of "C" ,  represented harmony . The alphabet of orange "X" is represented to healing . The alphabets of "J","Y","C" and "X" is actually short form of my name , Joanne Yen Chang Xin . Bubbles around the snail , i used few colors such as blue, red and violet , this is because the colors represented energy , this showed that the energy bubbles . The bubbles that can give you energy . Violet represented spirit , red represented life and blue represented harmony . The colors also showed the contrast . After that , i applied the icon to the cover of books . I wanted to have my own story books for kids , so whenever see the icon that can represented me . What actually inspired me , it is not due to my researched , is totally inspired on my own .
