So as I started to think about the phrase “visual symbols” and how it affects my life. The first thing I thought of was my cell phone. When not in use it’s nothing more than a square black brick
(lifeless...doesn't even look fun)
(lifeless...doesn't even look fun)
I bring everywhere but when someone calls/texts me it lights up like a neon Christmas gift.
(Just SCREAMS look at me...little gift of words from a friend!)
I have a little party in my head every time I see it light up. Most of the time it is nothing important (friend telling me there late or a random smiley) but it still triggers some kind of positive reaction from me. I feel the biggest thing affected by visual symbols in my day to day life would have to be driving. From the gas gage to the scary service engine light tells the driver what to do.

(gas gage) (The scary service engine sign...yikes)
You (as the driver) even get to tell others what you’re doing with the power of your turning signals.
(Well...clearly I'm turning right)If the visual symbol is used properly or will designed it should become universally understood.
