Pictograms and Calligrams
Pictograms are simplified illustrations that communicate a concept using a simple symbol.
They are becoming increasingly popular in graphic design. I created these pictograms of 'curling' as there are not currently many existing pictograms for this sport.
A calligram is a visual image created using typography. This is an example of a tea pot calligram that I created using the pencil drawing too in Illustrator. I completed the design by drawing in the handle, lid and spout and filled in using a spotty pattern to create an interesting design. The result was quite striking.
