Many Mirrors

Jasper Hauser of Sofa takes us through some of the design thoughts that went into creating the Kaleidoscope icon.

We ended up having an icon pretty early on in the development cycle, and so had plenty of time to take a good look and reflect on it. Something I really like, mostly because when you are in the creation process you are so deep into the subject matter it becomes progressively more difficult to discern good from bad.
