One of our initial concepts that I chose to develop was the idea of a symbol or mark that can run throughout the publication and have a changing shape overlay for each student. This was inspired by the Wikipedia branding proposal by Moving Brands.
Here are my initial sketches developing the idea into something relevant to our year-group:
We decided to go with variations of the numerical four. These first two pages shows experimentation to find out how many lines or 'points' are needed to create enough variation so we can create a different overlay for each student.
Since I wasn't getting enough variation with this particular base-shape, we chose to go with the 'open' four that allowed more diagonal interaction between the nodes.
