I wanted to share this really interesting class exercise we did the other night. I'm sure it's pretty common in graphic design... the idea was to take 6 words and express them using only 4 black squares.
Wanna see mine? :)

So simple... yet so creatively challenging! I love exercises like this because it gets me sketching and thinking outside the box. Our next big assignment is coming up with a set of icons- so excited! I've been wanting to create a special set of GDS-style icons for you guys to use, so stay tuned!

We did a similar exercise in one of my classes... except it was timed, so we had to force our minds to think rapidly - it was difficult!

ReplyDeleteTension grabs my eye immediately. You are giving me some great ideas - we have to create a logo using our initials and my mind is completely blank. Lol.
