1️⃣ Will You Be My Emoji? 💍
from Welcome to Macintosh Hosted by Mark Bramhill
Since they arrived on our keyboards five years ago, emoji have changed how we communicate. Our texts are all dotted with 😊 and 😂 and ❤️, maybe even some 🍆. But, where do they come from? How are new emoji created? In this mini-series on emoji, I answer that question. I go on a quest to create an emoji of my own, and chronicle every step of the way. In part 1️⃣: the proposal. You can read my full proposal for "Person Meditating" on the Unicode website. Brought to you by: Fracture: Photos printed in vivid color directly on glass.
