Assignment 1: Part II--Developing drafts



As in the last post, I came up with eight thumbnails to work with and I've chosen four of which I will develop further.

Here are the four drafts I've developed.



Music.

draft 1:

This was developed from the first thumbnail of music.
One. The thumbnail was too rigid and stiff so I made the musical notes more abstract and flexible.
Two. Also, the treble cleft is inverted, and part of it is made into dotted lines so as to show the "S" more distinctively.
Three. I added a dot on top of the "i", to make it look more like an "i" rather than being part for the "E". In musical terms it represents a sustained note.


Critique: The lines are too thin, hence it doesn't give a defining 3-D look.


draft 2:

This was from the second thumbnail.
Experimented with developing a symbol when I used a saxophone to represent "J".

Referenced from:


Critique: In general, this class preferred this to the first draft. Perhaps because it is more "3-D"...? Also they liked the saxophone. The class was really helpful in helping me think of ideas on how I can represent "E" and "S". One idea that I'll be adopting is using the piano keys to represent "E".



Migraine.

draft 3:

Not much changes to this, save the "I" being replaced by a medicine bottle.

Critique: A cabinet of medicine doesn't really bring out the idea of "migraine". It could be preferring to sickness in general, or simply medicine.


draft 4:

No changes done to this.

Critique: The class was divided as to which draft they prefer. Esther suggested I could add lightnings to create a deeper sense of pain.



Yupps, so that's all for my drafts for now.
Do leave comments, if any. They are greatly appreciated! =)
