Pictogram Sketches

The assignment is to create at least 3 original, icons that communicate associated actions, processes, concepts or objects. Each pictogram must be done in color and in black and white.

First few were done before i knew that there assignment required 3 pictograms with a common theme...

Next i chose a few different themes and tried to decide which i liked the best...
the top three were music themed (and i expanded the cassette on the bottom). while the next three had an automotive theme (the far right pictogram was a tachometer, didn't translate well.)
Next i wend with a type of snowboarders theme, back country pro - parks - noob
finally i went with hair styles  dread - faux hawk - bald and bearded.

I liked the music one the best at this time... record - cassette - cd...

but an explanation during class made this less appealing and i sought an alternative. but with the music theme i played around with different shapes of the pictograms.

in the bottom of the image above you can see that i was getting a little hungry...

I have an interest in automotive so i thought i would play around with a few ideas here, the top one above has the theme of car problems and the bottom three and one on the next image were car parts.

I also thought hats might me interesting... but not really...

Practice...

And it seems to function.
