Creature Mark
The objective of Creature Marks is to create a unique graphic interpretation of an assigned creature. The form language used to graphically interpret the creature will be based on an orderly and systematic arrangement (syntax/structure) of the basic components of visual communication (elements + attributes). The resulting form should communicate a set of essential traits – physical, behavioral, and/or personality – that make the creature unique (semantics/meaning).
Research
Before deciding on an animal I researched three animals and from there decided on an animal. I took the time to thoroughly research various images of these three animals, which provided valuable insights.
Sketching
From this research, I was able to carefully identify and come up with the top five physical characteristics and associated traits that I wanted to thoughtfully incorporate into my design work. I created graphic translations which I then took on to the computer after picking out one that most represented the traits.
