Final Pictograms

I like the way that my pictograms turned out. I decided to try and add some color by incorporating it into the plates. Once they were printed out the colors were a lot darker and the fish and magenta blended in a lot. I added some scales to the fish which I thought was added to it a lot. I also added some dots on the chicken for some texture as well. Overall I think they turned out quite well.

This is my printout for my icons. I think I spent the most time on the ham icon and it's my strongest one. I need to add some details to the fish and chicken. Also I need some definitions with the fish and chicken so they pop out more. I think they turned out really well I just need to fix them up a bit.

My roughs look really similar to my sketches, but I was able to come to one idea. I decided to do the meat, because they have more of a clear use for the icons.

Collage

Making this collage was a really good for me. It helped to get me comfortable with illustrator more, and helped me to be a little more confident with the program as well. Overall I think it turned out great!

Thumbnails - Project 1

I had a really hard time trying to think of symbols that haven't been done before. I was trying to think of things that would be fun to create. After looking them over I need to focus more on incorporating a use for the symbols I create. That's what I'm going to be working on for the rough drafts.
