Subjective from Objective - Blackletter

Subjective signs from objective ones - based on the opinion of Van Toorn. 

1. Create brush strokes in the blackletter style
2. Arrange in pictograms 
3. Photograph/ scan 

Using black ink and a variety of tools (including strips of cardboard, wire brushes and chisels) I created a series of marks, which I then arranged in my sketchbook to replicate some of the hospital icons. I also photographed and scanned the marks to make cleaner versions in Illustrator. 











The system chosen was a set of hospital icons - we had to create blackletter versions of 5 of these icons as well as all of the arrows.


















Arrows

Disabled icons

Female and male icons for the toilets

Stairs


Variations on the waiting room icon
