After creating some initial sketches of the pictograms, I decided to start developing them within Illustrator.
I started with the male and female toilet symbols.
I wanted to work with quite thick, chunky lines for the best visibility for the elderly.
I used the arc line tool to create a curved shaped that I reflected to form an arch
A small line was used to join the two together
I then started working with diagonal lines to form the lower half
Small curves were used for the joining of the legs
Finally, vertical lines were used for the legs
The arches were adjusted slightly to allow for a better fit
Finished pictogram
The male pictogram was created by firstly duplicating the head and arms
The legs were formed again with vertical lines
And a curve to join the three
Fine details were adjusted in a macro zoom to allow for a perfect fit
The arch was narrowed after I decided it was too wide for the figure
Finished figures
