The document discusses the design of the Fruit Ninja game icon. The icon features an East Asian theme with a bamboo texture in the background. A illuminated sabre is shown slanting diagonally from the bottom left to the top right. Halves of a watermelon sit in the center with splattered juice shown extending outside to add depth, while the transparent juice splatters lack depth. The color scheme uses multiple shades of the same color, like red and green, to add detail and texture to the watermelon.

watermelon sit predominantly within
the centre circle with their ends
emerging just outside. The juice

selected as the default fruit, perhaps for its juiciness) shown to be
splattered across the screen of the icon to add a sense of depth to it,
whilst the juice splatters themselves are coloured with a slight
transparency to add a lack of depth to their texture, which is realistic
in ways.The colour scheme uses many shades of the same colour to provide an
effective method of shading. For instance, 3 shades of red are used to
add detail to centre of the inside of the watermelon by layering it up
them. 6 shades of green are also used to master the pattern of the
watermelon’s outer shell. Many different variations of beige, including a
