A pictograph merely represents an object. E.g. the picture of a cow means `a cow`.
An ideograph conveys an idea through a pictorial representation. E.g. a cow's head means `wealth`.
Rebus is another pictorial writing, where pictures do not directly represent objects; instead , they convey the sound of a letter or syllable as in hieroglyphs. E.g. pictures of a `bee` and `leaf` means `belief/believe`.
Design & Production
Grantha's design services specialise in editorial design and corporate communication. Effective use of typography is a hallmark of every Grantha job. We do believe in the maxim “form follows function” and approach design as a `problem solving` process. But our experience has been that uninteresting problems often end up with dull solutions. So we first try to redefine the brief into an interesting one and then go about finding an interesting solution.
Grantha offers total design solutions for print and web production such as
- website design and development
- book design
- cover/jacket design
- magazine design
- copy editing
- print production
- design of corporate brochures, catalogues, corporate journals, collaterals etc.
- identity and branding
