Thumbnails for Pictograph Assignment

So...yeah, time to upload my joyous thumbnails! I still don't have a full grip on this blog thing...cause I am not a huge fan of blogging in general, but we'll see how this works out. Anyways, following this statement is some scans of thumbnails I sketched up from my amazing imagination. Good stuff.

I really like the idea of the Southwest Icons. I like the painting style of Thomas Moran. I believe that's his name. I think it'd be cool to have "tourism icons" for people to relate to the Southwest. I really dig these US Dept of Interior/NPS Posters that you can see on this website:

That's kind of my inspiration for these pictograms in the "Southwest" style icons.

I also think the biking/skating/scootering combo has some potential. I'd like to make them really simple like the bike logo idea, but lack the skills to do so.
