I'm not quite too sure but I think Isotype signification meant 'information system of typographic element'. For this workshop, we looked at symbols which could give out information visually without using type. For example there was a sign which had a figure of a man and a dog beside it facing right; at first I didn't quite understand why it was placed like that until I read on top of it the word come. I then though to myself that there was no way someone would understand that type of symbol indicating to 'come'. Beside the 'come' symbol there was the go symbol but it didn't leave much of an impression that it was a go sign.
After we worked in groups using some statistic research (why homeless people become homeless) to display it in a visual way people can look and understand without having to read any text. we had some statistic about why they become homeless and we quickly decided on how to display the result through paper man.
The two images above are the making process.
Below shows the images of how the outcome of our hard effort came out to be.
