This assignment was about the process to making a symbol. I had the overarching concept of beauty. And the process included a lot of brainstorming and connecting of other concepts that related to my main idea of beauty. I intended these symbols to be used on beauty product packaging as a shorthand for other words or phrases. The trial and error with these symbols was the most challenging part for me. Most of the time I would create something and then leave a critique not knowing where to move onto next with specific symbols but I think that this very long process ended up helping me in the long run with mastering the minimalistic and abstract design these final symbols have.
