Component Construction

The Boulogne Airport pictograms and accompanying typeface were created using a series of essential basic components, eventually narrowed down to thirteen individual pieces. This resulted in the large body of work appearing heavily stylised, but also establishing itself as a strong

Pictogram Gestures

A tricky aspect of designing within the confinements of a system has been developing gestures. The slightest change seems to make the difference between creating an image that looks like a tourist posing, to a character threatening violence with a

Pictogram Drafts

The first batch of draft designs for the pictograms derived from observing behaviour in public spaces. Serving as a way to document actions, rather than enforce authority, these pictograms are designed to conform to a grid as part of investigations

Pictograms on Grid

Peopleograms

It is amazing to think of the amount of people that pass through a space on a daily basis and how they behave during this occupation. Many of us give no consideration to the behaviour of others unless it in
