Instant film camera was first introduced in 1940s by Edwin Land, the founder of Polaroid Film. I delved into the subject matter from multiple perspectives, its historical trajectory, future potential, symbolic significance, its evolution in production and manufacture from the 1940s to the present, and its intimate connection with individuals and broader cultural contexts. The first icon drew inspiration from the instant film camera I have at home, representing the classic appearance of contemporary instant film cameras. For the second icon, I selected 35mm film, as it is a primary medium for photography prior to the advent of instant film technology. The third icon symbolizes the specific film utilized in modern Polaroid cameras. For the fourth icon, I chose a paint bucket, symbolizing the special paint integral to the film production process. Then, I thought about the typical scenarios wherein instant film cameras are used, leading to the design of a birthday cake icon to symbolize moments of celebration captured through instant film cameras. Icons 6 and 7 serve as an exploration into the object’s potential future. Icon 6 is the result of imagining people collecting lots of instant photos over time and turning them into a photo album. Lastly, the eighth icon makes us think about how instant film is connected to death. Film can last a really long time, even more than 50 years. I reflected on how the memories encapsulated within the film serve as lasting mementos for those who have departed. For each icon I designed, For each icon, I incorporated shadows to maintain the 2D design while adding depth and visual interest.

“A desktop is a changing record of visual decisions. It speaks to the aesthetics of a particular work-flow and personal space. A desktop exhibits a diagram of your organizational habits and a screenshot of it captures a brief moment of its functional evolution. The image of your desktop becomes an intimate self-portrait and the impulse to decode an unfamiliar desktop is unavoidable.”
