SYMBOLS

Symbols
Symbols Signs Emblems Pictograms Icons Marks Representations Codes….they are all around us and give us visual clues to certain messages the authors are trying to convey.


Clubs, products, artists, advertising….they’re all around. Let’s think about it from a personal perspective. If you had to give a visual clue to who you are what would it be. You could choose a combination of existing symbols or even come up with your own unique one.

Think about what kinds of things are symbols.

If you were asked to represent yourself using symbols what approach would you take. Well…that’s your challenge for this fortnight. Using your imagination define who you are using symbols. It needn’t say everything about you…you may wish to focus on just a few key elements of your personality as I have done.


You may be complex and choose to have many symbols you may be clean and simple and use just one….it may be a picture or words…you’re limited only by your imagination. Remember the importance of colour and how this can also be used to convey your message.
Here's mine for this week....have fun....enjoy!
