Word & Image is seen through our society in our everyday life through street signs. As we are driving down the streets everyday commuting our life or just merely looking for the right class rooms on campus, there are signs that direct us and guide us towards our destination. We see signs that imply directions as go here or this way, or just simply stop. Each sign uses a distinguishable notation of word and imagery. Shapes that are used transcribe the image referring to what the sign is trying to express. The words follow a simple word in which it directs the viewers to whatever the sign is trying to portray. We see signs as being balanced and symmetrical often coming in various shapes. A sign is got to be able to stand up on his own, as you would see a street sign and such. We recognize that a street size is often a rectangle with the street name in it. Stop sign is a symmetrical figure as well, and color plays an important aspect in the direction the sign is leaning towards. We often imply that red means stop, as followed by the street codes and laws. Signs combine the image with word to convey our direction and help us better recognize these universal thoughts and directions.
