Based on my initial first sketches, I decided to recreate these ideas digitally within Illustrator. I took small architectural details from each place and used the pen tool to create basic shapes.
In order:
Vallances
County Arcade
Kirkgate Market
Horse & Trumpet
Class Menswear
Starlight Room
Primark
size?
McDonalds
Whilst I initially liked these, I felt like they were lacking something. I took these ideas to my interim crit, and in response people told me that they did not feel like these pictograms were matching. I completely agreed with this and did notice myself that they did not appear as part of the same 'set'. The Kirkgate Market pictogram in particular really stood out to me as it looked really quite different to the rest of them. There were suggests from people that I perhaps use a grid to redesign my pictograms on, which would help bring them all together and make them appear part of the same set.
