While searching for symbols or icons for this project, I realized how frequently we, as viewers, often only need an image to receive a communicated message. All of these icons I found are able to be "read" without any words. Some are symbols on signs learned in driver's ed class (or other driving instruction) but many of the signs are learned by associating the sign with the object it's representing. Colors, shapes, and images are important tools of communication on signs.
I found these signs: on household appliances and on other things around the house, while driving in the car, and at different businesses near my home. This is only a small amount compared to what we see everyday and have learned to "read."
