Project 1 Statement of Intent

The pictograms serve to represent a set of four diverse animals with varying characteristics and body types while unifying them through an appealing visual system. By constraining the general shape of each animals into that of a circle and heavily simplifying their identifying characteristics, the four animals fit into an instantly apparent visual style without sacrificing individuality. Other design choices further unify the pieces such as making their shapes solid black, use of negative space to create the animals’ distinct features/patterns, and the identical size of the eyes, with placement varying to maintain relative anatomical accuracy (although they remain stylized as small, simple circles).

A couple of weeks ago, Pantone made a splash by announcing its pick of “Living Coral” as Color of the Year for 2019:

Fer Carrión and Rodrigo Bistene of DDB Chicago have done a cool thing to draw attention to the fact that the world’s coral reefs are scarcely “Living” at the moment. They’re now all either dead or dying. Amazing work.
