ZOOLOGICAL SYMBOL

The assignment involves designing a cohesive animal symbol system for a series of OKC Zoo posters. This system should encompass nine symbols, categorized evenly among mammals, birds, and insects. These symbols will be the foundation for creating a series of distinct posters: inversed symbol system posters, a letterform poster, and an informative zoo poster. Each symbol must embody simplicity and readability, maintaining a consistent design approach across all elements.
