pictograms!
The second assignment involved creating a pictogram to be placed around the school. The classroom exercise involved a step-by-step approach in simplifying an image into a pictogram. Done in pairs, my partner suggested simplifying a tissue box as belows:
And so... on to the assignment proper. The first thing that came to my mind about NUS was... National University of Stairs! Yup... and so I decided to do up a sign to notify people to "beware of impeding stairs ahead!" lol.. for the fun of it!Inspired by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch's The Scream, which I think almost everyone is aware of:
And thus the simplification process of The Scream and flight of stairs:
And lo and behold! The final design!
Some feedback was how much of an effect the stickman actually have in the sign. As I wanted to retain the creative and fun aspect to the sign, which could serve as an eye-catching feature as well. So I will be working on redesigning the stairs and placement of the two elements. The orientation of the sign will still remain as this diamond shape as it provides me with the most amount of space to work with to show the long flight of stairs.
