Shiho's Seahorse - Tumblr Posts

So, I'm not going to use the tags for this one because I feel this story requires the full context.

So, back when I thought I was going to be a Graphic Designer, one of the long-term assignments for one of the pre-major Graphic Design classes was to create/refine a design that incorporated a) a sea creature, combined with b) an adjective. There were three adjectives in total, so everyone in the class ended up with three different designs. The first two adjectives - "Startled" and "Neutral" - were the same for everybody, but the third one was our own choice. The sea creature I chose was Shiho's seahorse, and the adjective I chose was "Luminous."

When I first joined Tumblr I wanted to pick an icon that was significant to me personally but that wasn't too identifying. I was happy with how the final version of my "Luminous Shiho's Seahorse" design turned out so I went with that.

hello I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. The anonymity of tumblr means that I associate my idea/image of you with your icon and sometimes I look at people’s icons and I’m like ‘hmmm….what is that and why?’ 

so pls reblog this and comment in the tags the meaning behind your icon and why you chose it. this is a social experiment. do it for science pls.
