Objectives
The goal of this assignment was to understand simplicity and clarity of symbol design. We were to learn basic theories and methods to create new symbols based on the subject matter. Through this assignment, we were to explore design methodology for reconstructing, manipulating and simplifying symbol design. We were given a matrix table and the purpose of the matrix table was to experiment with the creativity and design process. Our goals of the project were to understand how to create symbol sets that achieve both unity and variety in a harmonious way, to create symbol sets that balance simplicity, density, and complexity to demonstrate the use of figures, to learn how symbols represent ideas, concepts and abstractions, and to understand how meaning is constructed and understood in symbols.
Design Principles
For this project we had to use the following design principles:
- Figure/Ground
- Line/Mass
- Size
- Direction
- Similarity
- Repetition
- Gradation
- Organic/Geometric
- Radiation
- Symmetry
- Asymmetry
I hope you all enjoy the spirit of Halloween and my personal work as well.
Until next time bloggers,
