Class Exercise C.
The first 2208 Lecture of the month!
Today, our lecture assignment was to select an object and create 1) iconic and 2) indexic representations of the object.
Kristle, Witono and I decided to choose a rattlesnake, and design a pictogram that warns of the danger of a snake. It's not a common creature in Singapore, but it's an animal that many people recognise on sight.
Picture references.
Concept.
We decided to focus on the image of the rattle to allow people to associate this with the rattlesnake quickly, since it's a trademark physical trait of the rattlesnake. Witono suggested snake fangs to allow Singaporeans unfamiliar with rattlesnakes associate the pictograms with the snakes. I also suggested including the snake coils.
Designs.Iconic representation of the dangers of the snake.
Indexic representation of the dangers of the snake.
I included the eye and the forked tongue to further emphasize the image of the snake.
I'm considering setting these pictograms on a yellow instead of a white background, in order to emphasize the caution that people should have for these dangerous snakes.
