Lecture Exercise C: Pictogram
In this exercise, we were to sketch an object in its iconic and indexical form. Glenn and I decided on the iPod as the iconic form, which is by its resemblance to the actual object.

Stage 4 - Final Prototype
This was the final prototype I presented in class. I chose the portrait over a landscape because this made the sneakers in a central position. One problem I had was that I couldn’t get the same colours on screen on paper as well!
The class commented that the ‘E’ was the most outstanding, and that there should be a change in colours of the background....
