Animal stickers for iMessage: illustration made conversational
This sticker collection brought Diana’s Animals into iMessage conversations. The project adapted the illustrated characters into small visual expressions people could place on messages, photos and other stickers.

Project overview
Who it is for
People using visual characters to express themselves in mobile messages.
The design focus
Adapt a recognizable illustration style to the scale and context of conversation.
What the work includes
An iMessage sticker collection with static characters and an animated GIF.
Give the characters a social role
Moving the animals into messaging changed the context of the artwork: the characters could become part of someone else’s conversation. The collection included static stickers and an animated GIF.
Extend an established visual language
The animal silhouettes, faceted forms and color palettes connected the sticker product to the wider illustration collection. The original product artwork shows how that recognizable style carried into a small, expressive format.
The connection to my practice
What this work demonstrates
The work demonstrates how a visual collection can take on a new purpose. Familiar forms become small expressive objects that people can use within their own conversations.
