This is the first icon set option. The principles I set for myself were geometric, sharp angles, fragmentation, and a fill. The idea was that the jagged lines would and abstracted body would create a feeling of oddity and creepiness. The poses used were chosen to give the set  suspense and drama. There were comments made about the icon set having contemporary connotations that would weaken my concept. After careful examination and consideration, the second set of icons made more sense conceptually and formally. Therefore I decided to move forward with the second set.
