Pictograms are simplified or stylised pictures of people or things. Its aim is to increase the efficiency of the communication of a picture, in this instance someones face, by achieving a physical likeness with the characteristics and eccentricities.
For mine I drew myself and Abz. As well as Abzs head scarf that is iconic I thought that her eyes stood out as well, so I came up with this illustration.
With my own face, I thought the characteristics that stood out the most were my chin and my lips, so I came up with this.
However, I thought that each picture could be simplified even more. I thought with Abzs picture I could change the type of brush I used on illustrator so it looked less 'drawn'. I also thought I could take her eyes away and you would still be able to tell it was Abz.
For my picture, I thought I would add more block colour as it looked too much like a line drawing. I also decided to take away the lines that made up the shape of my jaw, as you could still tell it was me with my hair and my lips.
