Visual Symbols

I am yet again reexamining visual symbols in my life.

Since my last post about visual symbols, I believe that my understanding and awareness of the visual symbols in my life have increased. These visual symbols communicate with me and produce an emotional response that is automatic. Here are just a few ironic symbols that I’ve noticed or thought of recently.

Heart: symbol of love and emotion, although it looks nothing like the heart in our bodies...

Envelope: picture representing that I have email (or a voicemail on my phone), although they don’t actually travel in an envelope...

Dollar sign: represents the idea of money, although it seems to be used less and less today...

Just a few visuals symbols that I’ve noticed in my life lately. This class has definitely changed how I look at the world around me.
