I remember in my elementary school gym there were these huge icons of athletes playing all kinds of sports. I stared at these things all the time because I was amazed at how much information a few shapes could convey. I've spent today making similar images, but of a business traveler in a hotel room. They're slightly depressing and not very athletic.
Today i made and tiled this image as my desktop. Trying out a new organization system. it's working well. My next project will be to redesign the folder icons.
