DESIGN :: ILLUSTRATION UNIT

01. Design a set of 9 pictograms. These need to be about a single subject (tools, zoo animals, foods) and/or for use within a unified environment (shop, airport, zoo, national park, etc.). Your icons should be in black, greyscale or one colour only (you may use tints). It is important that the set of icons you create looks like a coherent group. Aspects such as curves and line weights become crucially important. Some kind of system is often necessary to build the designs upon (such as the grid we saw in the introductory lecture) This project lies somewhere between typeface, logo and character design. Present as an A4 electronic PDF document emailed to your tutor by the end of the session in Week 3 Fri 13 March.
