SOUND SYMBOL


My sound symbol portrays the increase in volume. Although simple i believe it is quite effective. Creating sound symbols is probably one of the easier symbols to create as I believe the simpler it is the more recognizable and effective. Sound symbols are defined normally using a speaker as the initial symbol to be recognized, I believe my symbol does not need this to understand what it means, if placed in the right context.

WK8 POSTER EXERCISE

This is the poster I designed for 'Whack-Ups' It basically describes our cause as a design initiative without giving away to much information leaving the audience in wonder. The poster displays the various quotes we are using throughout our distribution posters. This poster would be used as a form of advertising rather than a distribution of ours, considering the use of posters is our main distribution method. For instance it would best work in a magazine or as a flyer, still leaving the viewer in anticipation.

SYMBOL OF SCIENTOLOGY

The "S" stands for Scientology, the lower triangle is called the A-R-C triangle and the upper is knows as the K-R-C triangle. A-R-C refers to affinity, reality and communication. K-R-C refers to Knowledge, Responsibility and control. Although I think Scientology is a crock of shit religion, i do like their symbol. The multiple layers within the symbol and how they overlap each other creates a real sense of depth making the symbol stand out form the page. Your eye is immediately drawn to the S that is interlocked with the two triangles, letting the viewer know that it stand for Scientology.
