Lawn Solutions Iteration

LAWN SOLUTIONS RATIONALE

Heading into this project I had no idea on how to approach drawing decisions with no words. I knew I had to think a lot when approaching my iteration because I needed to let my ideas flow. I ended up being extremely happy with my iteration and used the outline for my final drawing. I decided that listing the chemicals one by one would be less confusing as there are many different scenarios. I used the different elements according to what the chemicals needed and found out that they were very similar. The only element that was different between lettered chemicals was the insect infestation. I drew the insects first before listing the other elements because it was the distinguishing factor. I had a hard time thinking of symbols that were sustainable for others to understand. I ended up using what I thought were universal symbols such as the thermometer, desert, rain, and a basic bug. While I was happy with the way this turned out, I was fairly surprised that I had not had an "aha" moment yet. I thought I had done something wrong but suddenly realized that my chemicals names looked very similar looking and could be confusing. Then it came, AHA!, color coding to make things more clear has alway been a favored technique. I decided to keep the letters black and the numbers orange so that people could distinguish what they needed easier. I ended up being very happy with my drawing and I believe that people of all kinds will be able to understand it.
