New Proposed Icon Design for Cool Reader
Here’s my design icon for Cool Reader, an open source app. 
<br>
### About the App
![introxxxhdpi.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1517365782/pksfiu9ureqvurxjjcv5.png)
Cool Reader app is free and open source. It is available in android and windows version.
<br>
### Proposed Versus Official Icon
In making my proposed icon, I also used a book but it is closed and captured the front view, using the color in the cover of the original icon. I added reading glasses to symbolize the word cool at the same time as a tool in reading.
![comparexxxhdpi.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1517365830/lazbjwutcbwsathosykf.png)
<br>
### Concept
A new object, the spectacles have been added, then I also used a closed book.

<br>
### Color Variations and Color Codes
I choose to use the original color that shows in the official icon. Then I picked four more colors  for more choices.

### One Color Variation

<br>
### Fonts Style Use
The font style I use in the presentation is "AR JULIAN".

<br>
### Benefits/Improvement
This design will be another concept in refining the icon. I introduced a new object which is the spectacles in the creation of my proposed icon while maintaining the color of the book cover used in the official icon. I also provided vector files so anyone can reproduce or edit the proposed icon.
<br>
### Tools
I used the Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 in the creation of this new icon as well as the presentation.

<br>
### Original Files
Here are the links of the files I used in creating the design.
I provided adobe illustrator available export formats.
[Sharable link](https://drive.google.com/open?id=12uv6GNp-Px3a2iX0LIzr9fOGufj_NUOm)
All files and presentation materials I used in this design are all originally created by me.

Comments which can improve my work are all welcome.
Thank you for taking time to view my design.
Have a great day!
