Assignment 2

Create ONE pictogram for NUS community

and this pictogram will be placed within NUS campus.

I have encountered situations when I cannot board onto the NUS shuttle bus because of people who are not willing to move to the rear.

I think many people have experienced that kind of situation before too. Therefore, I think there is a need for a pictogram to be put in the NUS shuttle bus to REMIND people to move to the rear.

 

Hence here is what I have come out with.

Week 7

Assignment 2-edited

 I have edited according to comments given.  Well, I think I still have to redo the  first abstraction. It really doesn’t look good. 

2nd Abstraction




Final Abstraction



I have decided to redo the abstraction. The above is my final abstraction.

The red arrow used in the abstractions brings the passengers’ attention to the pictogram and also calls upon the passengers to perform the action of moving to the rear.

I have chosen Abstraction 5 to be developed into the final pictogram.

Basically, it captures the essence of concept using the minimum visual details.

  1. I like your use of red for the arrow. It is clear and draws your attention to the sign.

    I love the last one which shows its clarity and intent.
