Pictograms final



For my final set of four pictograms, I developed my colour scheme completely and painted with watercolours to produce a pastel natural look.

Pictograms- development

Pictograms 

By the second week, our aim was to develop a final set of pictograms from our drawings. This set was then further explored using various mediums, eg. Ink, Marker and Pencil. I chose my ink versions because I was planning to use watercolours for my final set of colour pictograms and I concluded that my ink version would best suit this choice.

Experimenting a colour palette

I chose earthy colours of red, green and brown as my colour palette because I wanted my pictograms to look natural and fresh.

Designing pictograms

As part of our new brief, our first task was to take photographs of fish, meat, poultry and salads/vegatables which would be part of our primary research from which we would develop our own pictograms. Upon attending the class, we got a better insight to research and the different ways of conducting it. From the primary research I collected- photographs form the English Market, I began to brainstorm ideas and develop pencil drawings.
