Intangible Symbol
This is what I believe to be an intangible symbol. The swirls are used to represent wind, thus creating a pictorial symbol of something that is purely intangible.
Sound Symbol
This is the symbol I created to represent a sound. The particular sound i was thinking of was i high pitched sound that increases in volume. I found this exercise quite easy as it is known that some shapes can be interpreted by the human mind as a particular sound. A circle usually represents a low pitch, where a sharp sided shape represents a higher pitch.
Philosophy
Symbols have been used throughout history and have been handed down to create meaning and give answers. It has been used in philosophy as a simple way of teaching.

Uncle Sam has been the symbol of the United States of America, personified. It was originally used to spark moral as WWII military propaganda but has been taken out of context in today's society.
The image of Uncle Sam has been used as a parody on various things such as t-shirts, comics and advertising. Still retaining its meaning yet using the symbol out of context.
Week 6 - Exercise 6 - Rebus
In this weeks class exercise we were asked to create a rebus. Rebus defined is: a puzzle where you decode a message consisting of pictures representing syllables and words. So as you can see we dove right in and missed the actual definition. We made pictures to represent words rather than syllables.
Clients Approval
These are the drafts we came up with for feedback from the class and lecturers. From the response we had a lot of work to do, it was almost there but not quite there. We needed to better convey our message.
