1) Pick 2 words from the instructor.
2) Using basic elements (line and dot) create 2 abstract / semi-abstract representative images conveying meaning of these words (1 image per word).
3) Images should communicate the meaning of the words through form (basic visual elements)
4) Images should use only two colours. - excluding paper colour. e.g.. Red, blue, and white (colour of the paper)
The 2 words i got from the lecturer is "extensive" and "reserved".
Meaning of "extensive":
1. of great extent; wide; broad: an extensive area.
2. covering or extending over a great area
3. great in amount, number, or degree
4. of or having extension
Based on the meanings i got, i decided to draw out a barcode. Just by using lines and numbers i created the image of "extensive". Notice the uniform rows of small lines actually contrast with the thick block/line. Thus that big block expresses "extensive", covering a large area, great in amount and also it is extended all the way to form the "i" of the word extensive which i added into the barcode. =)
Meaning of "reserved":
1. kept or set apart for some particular use or purpose.
2. kept by special arrangement for some person: a reserved seat.
3. formal or self-restrained in manner and relationship; avoiding familiarity or intimacy with others: a quiet, reserved man.
4. characterized by reserve, as the disposition, manner, etc.: reserved comments.
Based on the meanings i got, i decided to explore into point 3. By using rectangles and circles, and the colour black, i created a cluster/group of pictogram guys. Then using triangles and circles, and red, i drew a girl pictogram at the corner, representing self-restrained, avoiding intimacy/familiarity, thus "reserved".
