 Pictograph / Logo

Instructions
Create 3 original, interrelated icons that communicate interrelated actions, processes, concepts, or objects. These pictographs should communicate a specific function that could be used for the purposes of editorial design, application programs, interactive multimedia, or home pages for the web.

Each pictograph can be done in color but must communicate effectively at any pixel depth including black and white. Design pictographs about 2 x 2 inches printed at 300 dpi. They must also communicate effectively at 32 x 32 pixels. Examine and study various computer icons/pictographs. Take a close look at different web sites, look at design books and magazines, and notice other uses for pictographs (i.e. Olympic events). You might want to use these symbols later for your own home page or resume. One of the pictographs may be a trademark. The other pictographs may be used as secondary marks or information symbols.

Finish pictographs should be printed in color. All pictographs are expected to be labeled, identifying the function of each one. Arrange your designs on an 8.5 x 11 print.
