CMHR Human Rights Icons

Introduction At the beginning of the project, we divided our ideas into four categories: Silhouettes, Symbols, Abstractions and Metaphors. is four concepts allowed us to explore and understand dierent ways to solve the iconic representation of each human right proposed for this challenge. After this first exploration, and as the result of the feedback received, we started to look for an unifiying concept, one theory to sew up all the possibilities presented before.

It was clear that this new theory was already brewing in our minds when we decided to present our four exploration concepts, the variety of possibilities was a very interesting path to face the multicultural nature of this project. At this second instance of the development we defined our leading theory: î Łe Diverse Nature of Mankind and established three pillars: the icons have to be Positive, Multicultural and Emotive. Once we settled this statements we started to shape the icons presented in the next pages.
