For example:
Jack & Jill
Went Up the Hill
To Fetch a Pail of Water
Jack Fell Down
And Broke His Crown
And Jill came Tumbling After
Visually convey the nursery rhyme as simply as possible, using only symbols, letterforms and/or dingbats – no words or representational imagery.
You may however use design treatments such as blurring, gradations and transparency to convey movement and space.

The final design will be in two formats:
* A seven panel accordion book (6x6") with the title of nursery rhyme as the first panel.
* A single panel poster (16x20") or a 3D sculpture.
Final design will be both digital and printed on the Epson printer in the digital lab.

The following partial example did NOT get an A.
It most likely could have with a bit more exploration and work.

I went through Font Book on the computer at my studio and gathered the samples of alphabet fonts, symbol fonts, and dingbat fonts that would be permissible to use on this project. There are also many other possibilities that I have not posted including map symbols and highway signs, etc. If you absolutely have to use pictographs to come up with a good design, you may use the official US NPS and Forest pictographic fonts. You may also use logo marks, but if you go that route, stay with logos, but no logotypes. Lastly, if you really need to punt, I suppose you could use emoticons as a last resort.
