Schpiele: Icons
Schiele's drawings are characterized by distinctive lines — awkwardly heavy, jagged, and straying along trailing slants — with bold but sparse use of color. None of these elements are common to music player apps. Schpiele's design steals Egon Schiele's lines and colors directly from his drawings, then cuts, splices, and contorts them into the shapes of a familiar contemporary music app interface. This exercize's result is a violently anti-Schiele pattern, one that re-imagines music player design while problematically appropriating Schiele's recognizably characteristic style.
