For the design of the app icon I attempted to create a juxtaposition with the icon of processing, rendering it almost oxymoronic, in that instead of conveying a physical quality for the code, I inverted this to remove the tangible qualities and convey the body as information. I adopted the formalistic qualities of Processing, using sharp angles to fragment the face which then has sections and layers removed which also removes the depth. Reducing the tone and using flat colour also contributes to this. To clearly signify the link with code, I overlayed sections of the human genome code in a basic sans serif font, similar to that used in code writing programmes.
