Pictogram and Icon Graphics -

My pictograms are adopting the minimal aesthetic using single strokes. I found some good examples in this book.

I was looking at ways type is applied to pictograms, so far I have found it necessary to include the titles of my symbols because it adds to my intention of making things easier for students.

Throughout all of the books I have looked at, I've noticed similar pictograms to mine and been interested in their solutions, noting if aspects should be applied to mine.

Another thing I've concentrated on was the interpretation of human figures. There was a particular example in this book which was quite unusual. Although mine include very little detail they still consist of the basic human form.

Finally any unique pictographic styles have fascinated me; the way they cope with difficult constraints.
