Design and application of graphic systems in the production of visual communications within frameworks of theories of communication and signs. The first project was to develop a family of symbols with each representing one of the five human senses. It was divided into
several assignments to design 5 root symbols and then expand
the symbol system’s ability to be versatile, using Adobe Illustrator. The course was taught by Brandon Ballog

This project was a valuable opportunity to learn about pacing myself and by work as well as paying attention to some of the finer details especially in my line work. The biggest challenge this problem presented was making symbols that still function at a variety of scales.
