NFTs & Icons, #6

The marketplace tech company needs assistants in designing for their discord. To be more specific, they need ideas that can generate limitless amounts of emojis for future clients. The design needs to fit the sports theme while increasing social engagement in the chat rooms. Moreover, it can act as utilities from voting to role assignment and even title labeling. My superiors expect about 30-40 individual emojis delivered before their next meeting.

However, I decided to push those numbers up to about 80 with multiple versions of similar or the same emojis. The project included the client’s team mascot, foam fingers, athlete facial expressions, and memes. After delivering the task, my superior was not only impressed but had a chuckle by some of its content. They later gave me an identical assignment which it’s to create crypto punks NFTs of Mikey Willams. They’re pixilated digital avatars sold as unique art pieces on the web.

At first, I thought the NFT values were only limited to acting as a form of virtual expression. The longer I worked on it, the more I realized people have been buying it for thousands of dollars. It made me question why someone would buy it and how to sell it. Little did I know that these simple, tiny images can hold so much power depending on their environment. A minuscule feature once thought insignificant serves a larger purpose when used in the right hands.
