Symbol Methodology

        
  


     The goal of the symbol methodology project was to create 3 completely unique symbols to describe one word from a list of industries/disciplines given by the teacher. The goal in mind was not only to create something completely unique, but also to make sure it was readable if scaled down to 1".

    I took the word "Manufacturing" and split into 3 sub-categories: technology, creation, and growing. In each of these, i broke them down into 3 more sub-categories. Technology: mechanical, future, electrical. Creation: invention, imagination, evolve. Growing: environmental, psychological, industrial.

    I then took the images and tweaked them on paper until I was satisfied with the symbols. Then, when the final products were created, I scanned the sketches and vectorized them in Adobe Illustrator to create the final 2 sheets (3 options to choose from before the final). The final board is the bottom-most image.
