ASSIGNMENT TWO - Abstraction and Pictogram

PICTOGRAM!!!

coffee maker~! - A pictogram for pantry at the CNM Department.



Degree of abstraction (1)





Degree of abstraction (2)




FINAL - Degree of Abstraction



The first pictogram is basically just a line diagram of the image i googled. It consists of all the little little details similar to the coffee maker. Then I started to cut down on the details and keep it super simple.

FINAL PROTOTYPE

Please gimme your comments! whoosh~!! :)

  1. hellooo! I can see the reduction process clearly. The final reduction still retains a resemblence to the original one.

  3. Hey i think what struck me at first is the abstraction is quite cute.

    Things that you may be able to improve, i think that the first abstraction is also quite simple already.

    Also if you're worried that the coffee mixer idea doesn't come through, maybe you can consider black droplets dripping down. So you can have a box with just a cup inside and black droplets dripping down. As a really abstract 'abstraction'. Hope it helps. :)

  4. Hi.. I think your reduction process is quite good. Other than the changes to your cup maybe you could try to reduce the machine to be even simpler?

  5. Good, just a small suggestion for your fourth abstraction (actual), the nozzle head can have a smaller nozzle at the tip. And the nozzle looks better of it is wider?
