For this symbol assignment we designed three contextual symbols that were to be printed in vinyl sticker form. In the beginning of the assignment we were given a sheet on which we made 3 images for traced photos, stylized images and a non-objective representation of certain words under one context, in total we had 9 drawings. The context I chose was photo manipulation, as I wanted to make a symbol that could be used to represent manipulated photos in Media. I went through a series of iterations for the symbols, creating new and more perfected versions of the three symbols. In the end I chose to make a series of different eyes that were representative of photo manipulation. The symbol that I felt was most relevant to this was the eye with the bar code inside it as it was a representation of Media trying to sell you products through the use of photo manipulation and self-esteem in the eye of the viewer. The others were a closed eye to represent blindness to the true original image and a half-closed eye, to represent the partial view of the truth.
