Idea Development - Symbol

In my research I came across artwork used to promote God Save The Queen released by the Sex Pistols in 1977. It featured an image of Elizabeth II with a safety pin on her face. 


I had already looked at punk iconography for my first poster, but now needed a way to abstract the idea I was communicating. I looked at the sheet music for the song and created a design based on the opening chords by following the staves and notes. 


Similar to my typography vectors, this has the issue of looking very flat and too clean. It doesn't express the punk ideology which inspired it. I will continue to experiment with the image by processing it in different ways - digitally manipulating, photocopying, collaging etc
