Nomad Icons

The Nmedit project aims to create an alternative editor for the Clavia Nord Modular synthesizer. I discovered the project through their Sourceforge project listing, where they had posted a notice for help with the module icons.

This project was a fantastic learning experience, as I had no previous experience working with such a small graphic that also needed to represent some relatively detailed functionality – each of the module icons is rendered at 16 × 16 pixels in the software. This was, I believe, the more challenging aspect of the project; trying to devise iconic representation for some fairly obscure or otherwise esoteric modules and functions. Granted, a number of the icons are inspired by the original icons represented in the original software from Clavia, but I also wanted to create a series of icons that were more unique to the Nomad software in order to give it a more personal touch.
