The Noun Project is excited to host an Iconathon during SXSW with (mt) Media Temple!
(mt) Media Temple has been an essential partner of The Noun Project ever since we launched. We are thrilled they’ve decided to sponsor a fun 2-hour workshop to create a new visual language around inspiration and creativity. What does it feel like when you get that moment of inspiration? How would you visually communicate that feeling in a simple pictogram? We’ll be working together to create a new set of icons to illuminate the world of “Ideas.”
For more than 15 years, (mt) Media Temple has been helping people bring their big ideas to life. In that time they’ve witnessed a lot of light-bulb-over-the-head, “a-ha!” moments. Together we’re fascinated by the challenge of illustrating that moment and that feeling. The symbols created during this workshop will be added to The Noun Project as public domain for anyone to use.
So if you have an interest in art, design, or iconography–or good ideas, or beer, for that matter–and you’re planning on being in Austin on March 11th, come join us! No design or art skills needed, Iconathons are meant to engage everyone in the design process so don’t be shy.
