Assignment 2 - Less is More (Pictogram)

OMG! I finally done with my Assignment 2! I really really had a hard time coming out with what pictogram to do for the NUS Community. To me, it seems that everything that needs a pictogram has been done!
 When I first presented my first "abstraction", I think its a super lousy work. Its not pictogram at all.. more like poster design. At that point of time I did the "mask abstraction" is because of H1N1 and I have no idea how to really do abstraction. haha! Below is the sketch of my first "pictogram" that I presented in class.

I wanted to do pictogram on robotic lab but someone in class happen to redo his work and do on robotic lab already. So, I have to rethink what to do. Here are a list of pictogram ideas I came out...
  1. Bird-shit area! - This is to be place in the carpark lot that has a higher frequency of getting bird shit on the car.
  2. Sheltered study area that will get wet when it rains.
  3. Area that can make alot of noise.
  4. No stabbing of lecturer
  5. No sleeping during lecture
  6. Ez-link card top up machine
I settled on ez-link card top-up machine because the rest is quite tough to do. I tried doing on the Bird Shit one but I got stuck at the second abstraction.
This is the bird shit piece...





I settled on the Ez-link Card top up machine one.

Version #1


Version #2







I will be using the last abstraction as the pictogram for both version. :) Comments please! Thanks!!! :D
