UI: Candies

When I was living in Canada 2018-2020 I craved Swedish candy. I made a task for myself to create some of my belonged sweets in vector inspired by King and Candy Crush. I created a raspberry-licorice Kryptonite, a mint Bonbon and a citrus Swedish fish.

Bon-bon

I chose a glossy skeuomorphic style for the bon-bon most of all to get to play the shiny surface of the candy. I wanted to let the light catch the concave shapes in the middle of the candy.

The Swedish fish has a lot of details, so I decided to make it in a flat, shaded, and stylized style, similar to the characters in Candy Crush. This way I would be conservative of my time (creating detailed skeuomorphic shapes takes time) and still get to be creative while I explore how to translate intricate shapes into a stylized look.

I went with a matte, semi-skeuomorphic style suited the kryptonite because the candy is covered with sour powder and doesn't reflect a lot of light.
