For this, we learnt about pictograms, and the study of signs, how to use diagrams for visual communication. Simplicity at its best, i think is what i got away from the lecture. It is amazing how simple shapes and lines etc could be used to represent a message or object or even direct a person's actions.
At the end of the lecture, we were also tasked with our classroom assigment 2, as shown below:
I have chose to use a water dispenser found in NUS and drew out the 5 levels of abstraction.
Original Object: Water Dispenser
Abstract (1): The whole outline of the dispenser plus details of the filter etc.
Abstract (2): Details removed left with general outline of the dispenser.
Abstract (3): Outline is removed, focus is brought to just the two taps with filter tray.
Abstract (4): Only water tap is shown, droplet is added for the retention of its function.
Abstract (5): Just the water droplet, maximum level of abstraction.
