so my concept for this is forming as I continue to do the series. The word is chosen according to what the icon offers the background image. As suggested I kept to one syllable and it appears to be tying it all together well.
I love the diagram project, I was just so intimidated by all the possibilities. And since my experiences this year have seemed to benefit from simplification, I initially wanted to do that. I should have done more exploration but for now I think I am coming to the final stages of this layout. I hope to have this ready to plot asap.
Jamie and I can agree that complex patterns may not necessarily be the best thing for me to try to communicate to people ( ). I may lead them astray and give them wrong connotations. This exercise she said will be good for me as it is seemingly simple, but I should pick smart words to tell more of a story.
Take a look. I'm still working on it but these are the first groups of thought and I'm pretty sure that its a little to tangential. just gimme a shout back so I know for sure. I do think it would be an interesting way to make my icons have a broader meaning.
the darker outlined bubble around the fifties group is to help with legibility and distinction.
If I were to tell you now, I'd say I'll use the icons in a symbolic way. Maybe the gumball for capitalism; the booth could represent the people of the hour (fifties), and could start a tangent that covers cultural info; waitress- capitalism or some sort of reference to class and wage workers.
