Notes from article about iconography
Notes from the articles written by Helena Zhang
We encounter icons everywhere in our daily life – transport navigation, household appliance, and digital application. They are meant to be understood at a glance. Besides, icons try to not rely on a specific language or cultural difference.
But at the end of a day, how they manage to achieve this task? Briefly, they employ visual metaphors. These metaphors could be literal, such as an icon for alarm or battery status at your laptop. Sometimes, however, the metaphors are outdated, but we still can recognize their meaning by repeated use of these icons in the past. For example, a lot of icons use an image of a floppy disc to indicate a save action. For more abstract actions such as "shuffle" or "repeat" icons could communicate through the movement of the arrows. Finally, for some icons, we have lost the original meaning. A good example of this case is a command icon at a Mac keyboard.
