Assignment 2 (Less is More, Pictogram)

The title of assignment 2 is Less is More. We are asked to design a pictogram for NUS community and show the degree of abstraction for the pictogram. After the brainstorming session, I decided to design a pictogram of the laundry room for the student hostels. As a NUS student, everytime I have shifted into a new residence, I always can't find where is the laundry room. Hence, a pictogram for laundry room is needed in NUS. The drawing below shows the 5 steps of degree of abstraction for my pictogram.

I choose the last one to develop into a prototype. This is the prototype that I designed.

Besides, I have choose a suitable location to put this pictogram. The location is the path way junction of one of the residences in NUS, which is Ridge view residence. This path way junction is the main path from the entrance of the residence to all the blocks in this residence. So I think this location is the best place to show where is the laundry room of this residence. Below is the example of how the pictogram locate at the residence area.
