software design rough sketches

  1. I like the one with the magnifying glass. I think you should make something happen in there though. Like a big is crawling and it gets squashed or something. The one with the lock on the zipper is cool too because its showing that its putting a stop to something.

  2. i think all of your work. i think number 10 is cool because its a little different than a lock or combination, but i like the simple layout of the lock and combination ones too!

  3. I think the top left (number 5) works the best. Maybe you shouldn't separate the text. It may be a better solution to have all the text on the top and the lock on the bottom.

  4. The magnifying glass is a good one, maybe you could show the world virus getting destroyed or cleaned up somehow.

    The top left one with the lock is a fgood idea but I think it's too similar to the box style Norton's had before.

  5. I like #2 and #7 they seem more iconic and help describe what the programs does. I think the simple ones seem to be working best.

  6. No. 7 and 8 look neat, but 7 is more practical and everyone can relate to that.

  7. the only one that i can see that has something interesting is the top row 2nd column. i think you can go deeper into the lock idea though and probably use the components of a lock as your design elements. the other thumbnails have very busy images and reminds me of the 90s software packaging. maybe it's the condensed type.

  8. You have nice illustrations but the overall designs are way too cluttered. If you want to use any of those illustrations, you need to arrange them as sub elements to the product name. The gas mask idea is funny but would terrify customers and lose the sale.

  9. #7 is a good one. Are you going to use illustration or an actual image? I think if you use an illustration the same way you currently have, is going to work better and keep the design unique.

  10. Number 7 looks like it is working best. It has an interesting concept. The only thing is the name of the software is too close to the image or illustration.

  11. Number 2 and 8 are the most attractive to me. The usage of a guy in a bio-suite is a great idea but could be a little scary. Maybe that's what you want because it will grab people's attention.

  12. They are all either very antivirus typical or very scary. With the exception of the guy with the mask, it seems like I have already seen this design. The masked guy scares me... a lot. The magnifying glass can be seen in two way: as if the software looks very carefully to find viruses OR this product gives you viruses (because virus has such a big emphasis, thats the only thing people see when looking through the aisle).

    I prefer the concept of the combination lock. It means your computer is well protected. Another idea can be a steering wheel club. Things that you use to protect your belongings. That would be funny, having a computer with a club. ROFL
