Artificial Icon

A great example of how lighting a "scene" in certain ways can affect the imagery completely. These two icons are completely the same in terms of lighting and shadows, i've only replaced the colour on both of the backgrounds.

Light and shadows are two seldom talked about things in the design world in my opinion, learning how light interacts with objects has the ability to take your designs to the next level. Give it a try and see what you come up with!
