Group Identifiers

 

 



















Group Identifiers is basically being apart of something, been in a group that symbolizes a certain thing. It can be anything for example it can be jerseys, shoes, hats, uniform. So that’s why for the first image i decided to choose a soccer team which symbolise that there part of the team and that there on the same side. Second image is soldiers which shows there wart of a army. The following image is scout people who are little kids in a group and have the uniform and hats to identified that there in a scout group. Next is a sailors and then we have a dance crew.

Superstitions


 

 



There is a lot of superstitious people out there who have different belief in everything. Some people’s belief  is that if u brake a mirror you will have bad luck for 7 years. Another interesting superstition that i just learned from my grandma was that if u put a horse show above the door it will bring good luck to you. Another one is if u open a umbrella indoor u will have bad luck for 3 years. Also if u walk under a ladder u will have bad luck in your life. My dad said one of the ones that he believes in is that if he sees a black cat in the morning your day will go horrible.

Final Elements logo

This symbol represents the logo of our group name, Elements. It resembles the four areas, rock, water, fire and air. The core of the logo is the middle circle exemplifying the rock. The three curve lines surrounding the rock create a sense of waves, symbolizing water. Moreover, the curve lines also symbolize the flames of the element of fire. As an overall look, the logo offers an image of a wind mill which represents the final element, air.

symbols and distribution-Business cards

Evolutionary symbols


                  Che Guevara pop culture            




For the first one it shows a pentagram, but for what they say it is known for black magic and the name they have given for it was the sign of cloven hoof. The point up in the pentagram is the symbol for warlocks,witches and weakens which is the Great Rite. Another symbol that changed meaning was 

Hitler. Hitler was a serious symbol to people because a lot of people hated him and a lot of people liked him but from a serious thing it went to as a joke, as u can see there’s little girls having it on the shirts as a joke. The next one on a rabbit, from a animal it now is know of been the Easter bunny. The fourth image was Guevara from a inspiration it went into fashion. Then we got the symbol which symbolized 0 but now its changed to ok.

Road Signs


This assignment was called Road signs with aim to create different symbols for each sign. All the signs were based on a theme with each sign resembling different parts of the topic chosen. The theme I decided to represent was the sport, soccer. I enjoy soccer and believe that there are many different ideas which can be created in order to explain what it is and the reason of its existence. Initially, I began by naming the first sign ‘Red Light District’ relating to the referee who often provides players with red cards during a soccer game after performing a penalty. The second sign is a plain soccer pitch representing the field in which the sport of soccer is played on. Thereafter, the third sign is a ball in the air exemplifying low gravity. The forth sign symbolizes high crime; I thought this was the best sign of all as it clearly shows a person getting injured  which worked well within the theme as soccer players often become injured. Then for the fifth sign which i named ‘Street Busker’, I used the activity of street busking where a person is juggling for money representing the juggling of the soccer ball. The ‘Gold Digger’ refers to the cheerleaders who are attempting to grab the famous soccer player’s attention, being attracted to him only for his fame and money. The seventh sign is a player kicking soccer balls fitting perfectly within the theme. The ‘Fun Run’ sign symbolizes the soccer player who enjoys himself while running. The ninth sign, ‘Cinemas’ exemplifies the crowd who watches the game with anticipation just like a crowd watching a movie at a cinema. ‘Fashion shop’ was a sign resembling the soccer players’ uniform. The second last sign, ‘Wet paint’ shows foot prints representing the soccer boots which are worn by the players to practise the game of soccer. The final sign, ‘Big Surf’ symbolizes the most important part of soccer who are the crowd of  supporters, cheering and supporting their soccer team while the game is played.
