social diagram

Make a diagram of some aspect of social life using Inkscape and render it to paper using a Pen Plotter. You may use any kind of symbols or pictograms. Keep in mind that a diagram is abstract and it shows relations between people or things. So, the shapes and lines of connection may be more interesting than the individual nodes. Consider visualizing invisible but socially important details: wealth, power, gender, governance, class, emotions, age, identity

Restrictions:

  • You can use the standard geometric elements but no text or pixel images
  • Please don't use the pencil tool (it's not very vector-y)
  • No family trees or fictional characters

Tips:

  • Save early, save often!
  • Think about which pens you would like to use and remember to make one layer for each pen. Also, note that the Axi-draw can't hold all pens
  • Don't forget that pens can't really do vector fills. You will need to use some tricks.
