Pictograms

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. 

Poster

After our storyboard, the final part of the brief was to create a poster. The elements on the poster included our name logo, the storyboard content and our expressive type, Family. We had to focus on line spacing, emphasis and alignment.

Storyboard

We received another brief which encouraged us to research kinetic typography and create our own storyboards. We received our content and we had to incorporate an element for which we would sacrifice our lives for. I chose family. We then fully comped our storyboard keeping in mind how to use expressive type instead of symbols and images. Then I printed out my words and created my final piece.

Textures

For the final part of our elements brief, we added textures to our colored elements. We used the same color palette and experimented with various textures. For example I used teabag powder, tinfoil, cotton buds and rubbings.
