Created for this specific user, for use on Twitch.tv (a live-streaming video platform), and gifted to other streamers as achievement badges for social interaction, a specific collection of images were chosen. These images represent a level of accomplishment for subscribers, and are tiered in relation to the theme and their significance within the platform.
Following along a musical theme (because the user has become known for their musical selections incorporated within the platform) each image had to clearly represent the format style in use during a certain portion of music history. Actual colors and realistic aspects were as closely represented as possible without distracting from a more game-like, imaginary environment.
Because of the platform limitations, size and other graphic details were adjusted. Certain elements were enlarged, gradients were dramatized, and specific color shades were chosen for clarity and recognition of the icons at a very small size.
