Maps and pictogram Ideas

After talking about the layout of the zine along with the epilogue we wanted a map to go along with this that represented where the tribes hung out around the NQ, for example the goths being in Afflecks palace or the stoners being in Dr Hermans. I felt that this would work nicely as a piece of info graphics with a simple pictogram representing each of the tribe. This would also be a page purely dedicated to graphics which would break up the mainly illustrative book.

At the start we decided to have a map with all the stereotypes on it, as it would show how the NQ is evenly spread with the tribes, however with the final page and the narrative with the hipsters ruling the NQ we chose to have the map over run with the Hispter pictogram. The pictograms would be on the page dividers as well as this would be a good introduction to the work.

Idea's for the pictograms

Hipster glasses, obey hat, tattoo, nose piercing, docs, clothing

Goth raven, skull, pentagram, goat skull, candle, cross

Nerd mask, light sabre, geek guy, glasses, maths equation, 

Stoner blunt, bong, cannabis leaf, dreadlock guy, rasta hat, rasta flag, rasta lion, Jamaica outline

Musician Rockabilly tattoo, card symbols, guitar, dj set, double bass, instruments, cigarette

For each of the tribes we tested a few of the ideas out and together me and Sean chose what ones to take forward, for the hipster one we chose the obey hat, the goth a raven, stoner the cannabis leaf, the nerd a mask and finally the musician was a combination between a dj set and guitar strings.

Each of the pictograms had one colour and white to give the image in the piece, we deiced on colour relating loosely to the tribes 

Hipster-yellow

Goth-black

Nerd-red

Stoner-green

Musician-blue
