Symbol Methodology

For the Symbol Methodology project, we started by choosing a certain industry (such as Hydroelectricity or Agriculture) and creating 36 drawn sketches that best represent it. My chosen industry was Optics, so after deriving 33 vectors from my prior sketches, I mixed and matched them to create 12 relevant icons. From those 12, I then narrowed the list down to a good 9, and eventually a final 3. The symbols were supposed to effectively portray our given industry while still maintaining clarity in a 1x1 inch format.
