OUGD405 - Studio Brief 01 - Otl Aicher Grid


After receiving feedback from my interim crit, I decided to recreate my pictograms within a grid system to give them some connection.

I have looked at Otl Aicher's grid and how he used this to create the pictograms for the Olympic Games in 1972. I loved the way Aicher successfully represented each sport by using a simple black and white colour scheme that followed a specific grid.

Using this, I recreated my pictograms in a similar style, but instead adapted to Otl's grid system.



I definitely felt these looked more effective now they followed a uniform criteria. They all looked part of the same series whilst still being legible and looking effective. I feel these are appropriate for my signage system as they can be interpreted by all ages and abilities.
