Brainstorming 2!!!

Now into the brainstorming stage for assignment 2 – “Making images Talk”. How to make images talk? He-he! What am I suppose to draw? This is the question that I have been asking myself ever since the 1st assignment. To find something that looks simple? If that’s the case, am I able to come up with 5 levels of abstraction for it? To find something that looks complicated, which has many details in it? Then won’t it be too complicated to draw or to understand?
I think a sign or symbol should be something that is simple to draw & anyone is able to figure out what it is without much difficulty. This is the focus point for me. I hope this is the “right track” for me. After looking around, there are a lot of things that I think is considerable for me. Discman player, watch, clock, hand phone, pager, remote controller, TV set, or even a shoe, etc.

A SYMOBL/ABSRTACT REPRESENTATION

After much consideration & draft drawing, I decide to pick remote controller to be my focus topic. I feel that the design of a remote controller can be a one that has many details in it or on the other hand, can be as simple as having only 2 buttons, the “play” & the “stop” buttons. My “route of advancement” is to come up with a sign that is simple and can be easily identified or understood by anyone.
I hope that this design has achieved that. But I don’t know if I’m on the right track or not. Hope to have some feedback during the upcoming tutorial lesson.
