- What is the subject of your illustration and why did you choose it? Explain.
The subject of my Illustration was Barry Allen, The Flash from the tv Series The Flash CW. I chose this as The Flash used to be one of my favorite shows, and I felt as if this would make more a really good pictogram.
- What do you like about your art? Explain.
I really like how simplistic my pictogram is, and that less is more. I also liked how well this portrayed The Flash, and if you were to take away the title, you would easily be able to tell what the pictogram is.
- What advice would you give another student before they begin the pictogram technique? Explain. If I were to give advice to one doing this project, I would say to not be ashamed of tracing over a subject. Doing this will elevate your art, as it makes your art so much cleaner. This allowed me to focus more on my design than actually worrying about trying to make a good looking subject. One last piece of advice I would give is to mess around with different fonts, because although it’s only just writing, it’s the difference between an ok art piece and an amazing art piece.
