I defined the challenge as translating complex animal forms into simple symbols that could be easily understood by visitors of all ages. Each symbol needed to feel distinct while still functioning as part of a unified system. Clarity, accessibility, and consistency guided the design decisions throughout the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I designed a cohesive symbol system using simplified forms, limited detail, and a shared grid structure. Each animal was reduced to its most recognizable features while maintaining balance and legibility. I applied consistent scale, line weight, and proportion to ensure the symbols worked together as a system. The final symbols adapt easily for both print and digital applications, including signage and posters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

began with research and sketching focused on anatomy and proportion, allowing me to explore recognizable forms and refine ideas before building a consistent symbol system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
