The second project for my design class is to draw an everyday objext. Once we have this object drawn in a realistic style our challenge is to turn it into a symbol. We’ll do two things to do this. We’ll make a hand done drawing with india ink and we’ll make a vector version of the india ink drawing.
The symbol is to be all black and white.
For my symbol I’ve chosen a lamp in my house. It’s the typical shape of a lamp you’d imagine. It has a cylindrical shade, a metal base and a metal pull chain that hangs down past the shade.
At this stage I’ve completed the realistic drawing and will start on the symbol shortly.
