London Through The Eye Of A Designer - Icons, Symbols & Pictograms

This workshop reminded me about the Isotype one.  Both were about the use of images/symbols to communicate a message. In Isotype, we made up our own 3D Isotype to communicate figures/statistics.  Icons, Symbols and Pictograms was different in the way that we had to use images/symbols to create a Crest/Coat of Arms

A few examples:

• Nunavut
• The Vatican

• Bahamas

 
 

We formed a group to create our own Coat of Arms.  Both myself and Ewa live near Askew Road.

Askew Road, W12 is a long mainly residential road, linking Shepherds Bush to East Acton.

This symbolises Askew Road, linking Goldhawk Road and Uxbridge Road.

This road has a Chinese Take Away, A funeral Home, A pub called the Orchard another called Angel (hence the snake...Adam & Eve... a bit far fetched...but hey!)

This is our final design.

The chinese take away box has become the crest and the postcode has been made up of iconic symbols representing Askew Road.
