Here are some of the more interesting icons I drew that are "exclusive" to Pinhead, including reimagined icons for OSM curb types

OSM is full of jargon that beginners shouldn't be expected to know. Icons can give mappers confidence that they're using the right tags, particularly if the app isn't well translated into their language.

I also made an effort to cultivate a consistent design language by building related icons in series, reusing common elements.

If you've ever edited OSM, you've seen icons like these but probably haven't thought much about them. In fact, these icons are key to helping mappers understand the connection between OSM data and real-world objects.

Beyond design, I developed a preview webpage for the Temaki library (where my icons live) to help developers find the icons they're looking for.

@ctoney@fosstodon.org That's the goal! Hopefully just a start

@arthurwelle@mastodon.social Okay I found the license. The icons are Apache 2.0 which has a few strings in the redistribution clause which seem to prevent inclusion in a CC0 library: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

Prior to my custom designs, many similar features in iD were represented by identical icons. This is confusing. I tried to give each feature a unique, descriptive icon to highlight the differences between them.

I'm currently available for hire, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any similar work 🤝

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online Thanks! Time to make a map haha

@raquel_ivides_org@mastodon.social I just drew that today! Glad it’s already useful :)

@jspath55@chaos.social Thanks! I thought it was cute

@arthurwelle@mastodon.social looks cool but appears to be copyright 🤔

@forteller@tutoteket.no Happy to help! Thanks for opening that ticket :)
