Introduction: This Project done in my Graphic design 2 class is called Pictogram Music Poster. The main concept of this project was to recreate a poster design that is from an artist called Viktor Hertz. Our task for this assignment was to find an artist that is somewhat popular that has written many songs. We had to chose around 15 to 20 songs from the artist and make symbols that would represent the song's name. Our symbols for the song's name did not have to have any words written on it unless the teacher approved of it.
Description: My thought process throughout this project was to think of artists that I like and that has written many songs that I could work with. The first artist that I thought of was Drake because that's one of the artists that I listen to the most. It was not very hard to find songs that would work for this project because he has many songs to chose from. I looked up all of his albums and looked for songs that would be easy to represent by a symbol.
I was able to find mostly all of my symbols from a website called Thenounproject. There was only a couple of symbols that I had to create for myself which were the lightning bold inside the circle, and the hotline bling symbol with the money sign and the phone. There was also the trophies and cameras which I had to make a couple more of because the songs name was plural. I had to come up with a way in which all of the symbols would fit into a rectangular form. I has to work on this for multiple classes to find the best fit for all of the symbols. This is how my final project ended up looking. I was very happy with the outcome because I think that it looks a lot like a Victor Hertz design.
