Pixel Portraits

Although this exercise proved to be a time consuming, tedious job, i am quite happy with the results. Some are better than others, but overall i believe that anyone who knows the lectures i have chosen to depict would readily be able to identify them without any help.

Rebus

A Rebus is a saying or selection of text converted into a series of images without directly referring to the word. Above is our groups attempt at the saying "ill be back"

Good for goodness sake logo

For our cause we have chosen to promote health and try to reduce air pollution through organising a walking school bus for young students who live local to their school.

We managed to narrow our thoughts down to three core logo ideas and after feedback from the class we have chosen to settle with the top logo.

New and improved group symbol

Final version....We found that our old group symbol was not strong enough to represent 'passion'. This is our new and improved symbol for passion.

Symbols Whos Meaning Has Changed

THE PENTAGRAM

Once used to represent religions such as Judaism, Paganism, and even early Christianity.. However, in the last hundred years or so Satanic cults used the pentagram.

THE SWASTIKA

The swastika is actually thousands of years old, and it is considered a holy symbol by many different religions. In recent times, post WWII the swastika is a renowned symbolic of the nazi party

THE CROSS

The cross has been used for thousands of years before Christ was supposedly born. And early Christians may have actually despised the cross because it symbolized executions. Instead of using the cross, Christians used the fish symbol to depict Jesus

UP YOURS

Once a hand gesture used to show that you still had your fingers, as in battle men would cut off rival archers fingers making them unusable. now it is an offensive hand gesture like the rude finger.

MIDLLE FINGER

The middle finger is commonly known as an offensive hand gesture. In modern day times it has become more common and accepted therefore changing its meaning to a less offensive hand gesture. Who knows maybe in the future will be as common as waving hello.

Road signs

Symbols are used to represent many thing in society. In this exercise we were required to make our own new symbols for a number of existing symbols and some new ones too..

Enjoy..
