Icons for the Iphone

we were asked to design 4 Icons for the IPhone, each expressing a different genre; war, horror, sci-fi and fantasy. We first had to come up with lots of ideas for each genre then chose a final design for each. Once we had chosen the final designs we then had to re-draw the four images and then scan them into the computer to place on top of backgrounds we had previously made. then after playing about and tweaking this is what i finally came out with:

My first icon: This image was for war, it represents war. The icon can easily be recognised for its purpose. The icon is a small figure dropping down on a parachute, symbolising a paratrooper.

My second icon: This image was for horror, this icon was my favourite to make and i really like how it turned out. It looks like a shuriken star with blood stains at the tips of the blades and a giant eye in the middle.

My third icon: This image was for sci-fi. the icon came out looking reasonable, but I think it could have been better. It is comprised of a giant eye with an odd shape around it.

My final icon: This icon was for fantasy. It wasnt the best icon i came up with but it serves its perpose and can be recognised for it genra.

Here is a professional example of icons for aplications on Ipods, Iphones and android phones:
