Week 9 - Intangible symbols
















Symbol of a sound
There was a specifically compelling point in Desiree's lecture this week - that everyone must all be signed up for the same meaning of symbols. I think this is the case with intangible symbols because they are symbolising something that doesn't have a shape or form, it is up to us to use our other senses combined with imagination of what we think the form would be. Everyone's perception of this would differ, however we all seem to associate sound with wave-like shapes. This came to my attention when looking at electronic objects used to project sound e.g. ipod, television and laptop. It is also understood that the more waves (or the bigger) the louder the sound, as can be seen in the photo of my keyboard.
