Icon, Index, Symbol and Sign
Task
Design a symbol, index, and icon that effectively communicate the presence of a pet cat in the office, ensuring that visitors are aware and exercise caution. Additionally, create inclusive bathroom signs for male, female, and accessible facilities tailored to the same office environment.
Approach
The first step in my process was to explore how certain shapes could be reused effectively. I began with the cat, as I needed to depict a mischievous cat in an office setting. This led me to consider common office items, which sparked the idea of incorporating a broken teacup. I then applied the principles of figure-ground and closure to illustrate the cat inside the teacup. Once this concept was established, I was able to repurpose these elements for the remainder of the designs.
Reused Design Elements
The three elemets below formed the bulk of the designs.
