Project Description:
You have been cryogenically frozen since 2019. It is now 3019 and in this new society names have become obsolete. Everyone now identifies themselves with small metal emblems unique to them which they display around their neck or on their keys. To rejoin the general population, you must design a metal emblem that represents your path through life and is unique to you.
Once complete, the emblem will be presented to the society elders for approval. You must be able to explain why your emblem looks the way it does and why it is qualified to operate as your unique identity symbol. This involves describing how its visual characteristics mirror your path in life and what choices you made in the composition and shape of the symbol.
Your finished product will be a metal emblem that can be worn as a pendant for identification or as a “key” on your key chain.
The symbol should visually represent your personal path through life. Your struggles, transitions, and obstacles you have overcome should be visually represented in your composition, and other characteristics of your design.
