Pictogram

Abstract
The purpose of my pictogram is to turn the visual storytelling of the original animation Fishing with Popo into a single image. My pictogram not only incorporates the concept and elements of Fu’s artwork, but also my personal opinion presented with my own creative method and design concept. Central to the pictogram is a timeline which is the sound wave or sound curve captured from the original work. Different objects are used to mark the point in time when they appear. With all this, I hope to facilitate visitors’ recall or imagination of the life of a stranger, perhaps then to also wonder the meaning of life in general. I also hope visitors will be intrigued by my creative reproduction and to come up with their own methods to extend a work, such as using a pictogram, which is a way to behold the beauty of a person’s soul.
