Readability was the most important in Emoji.

Because emoji's size is very small.

Tips : How to choose colors

I have a lot of questions about how to choose colors.


Well, Although I majored in art, I did not study coloring separately.

I do not know the chromatology theory.


However, the sure thing is, the color is the first impression in the picture.

I remember the impression of various colors through practice, and I use it when I want.



Most of my color palettes come from experience.

Because I didn't have make pin before so I'll take time to learn about making pin.

There are another option like Acrylic key ring & stand.
