OUGD405 - Study Task 02 - Symbols Feedback


In this crit I asked the question; “what sport do you recognize this as?” This was the only question I wanted to ask, as a pictogram must be recognisable by everyone. The feedback I received was positive and the group all recognized it as representing the table tennis sport and they felt it captured the energy of the sport. So my pictogram is successful. One comment that was made quite a bit however is how fat the characters look. Although they liked the design and its obvious as to what it presents their circular bodies make them look like little fat people. However this effect has come from a design decision to use the shape of the penny farthing in my design and I think it makes them comical and enjoyable to look at. Another comment that was made was that one of the pictograms looked a little inappropriate. As this is a secondary design I can just remove it from my final outcome all together. My feedback group thought my pictograms were ”literally identifiable as table tennis” and that the design process was “well developed through experimentation.
