2   Sketch images

Sketch 8 very different versions of your image and letter
Be sure to subtract from your letter to create your sketch

1   With a thick marker on paper, combine your image with a letter that best describes it.
        For example:
                                      If you want your audience to view your box as a money saving devise, you might use the letter T for Treasure chest
                                      If you drew a bunny rabbit, would you use a B or a R? It depends on what you want your audience to read

2  Imagine that you will carve this icon from a bar of soap in the shape of your letter
      Subtract from your letter’s form to form your image

3   Use thick marker to work with shapes, not lines 
                      Focus on figure/ground and asymmetry

4   In some variations, call attention to the icon, in others, call attention to the letter
5   Try using both positive or negative versions of your letterform.
6.  With marker on paper, sketch 8 icons
