taimatsuOkay, to be a bit clearer about what I'm actually doing after yesterday's post, the project requires me first to design and hand draw very carefully at large size three pictograms, and then to design a poster using one of them. The 'client' is the Science Museum.
I have been working on an 'explosion' and a magnifying glass, my reasoning being that these are images which are not just connected to SCIENCE as such, but that the explosion could be used in contexts denoting 'excitement' (family science adventure event, or similar) and the magnifying glass is something anyone can use to look closely at things, and has connotations of 'discovery'. It's certainly something I remember being excited about using when I was little.
I do want my third image to be more directly 'scientific', so I was already considering the atom image, the bubbling flask etc. I am wary of a microscope, though it's a very appropriate image, as it would be quite tricky to hand-draw it to the required level of accuracy - I'm having to do by hand what I would naturally use a computer vector-drawing program to do, with nice automatic straight lines and neat ellipses. I think 'mad scientist' would be too steteotypical - DNA strands would be cool.
Any further thoughts, now you have more details?
