Emojis are certainly a universal language, but not for this reason suitable for everyone. There are still people who prefer words to images, or who are not reflected in the hundreds of existing emoji.
One of them is Andreas Samuelsson, an illustrator from Gothenburg, who thinks that Apple’s little faces and icons are not for him.
This dissatisfaction has led to his personal Emoji Library, a project in collaboration with the Nieves publishing house. With his unmistakable style, Andreas illustrated as many as 100 emoji, which can be downloaded from the App Store.

Andreas Samuelsson’s works have always stood out for the simplicity of their shapes and colors that allow his images to be appreciated by people of all ages and to be interpreted at will. The illustrator has maintained this clean and minimalist style for the Emoji Library as well.
We find small images that have a maximum of two colors and in which the details have been reduced to the minimum necessary to recognize the figure. Moreover, apart from some classic emoji like the apple, Andreas has added some completely new ones like a Moka, an olive, or a banana peel.
