Journal #3

1. This is a picture of a burger king cup, but the symbols on the top and bottom are what I was trying to focus on. The symbols are of cups with a line next to them. They're supposed to symbolize how high to fill the cup with ice, and how high to fill it with liquid for the best ice/beverage ratio. I like the idea; however, I could barely tell the first cup was supposed to be filled with ice and didn't know that until I asked someone who works there. All in all, good concept, could of used some better execution when it came to the designing front though.

2-7. These symbols are in a diagram I have in my room showing important information in the home community. I'm glad they put the words describing the symbols to the right of the symbol because otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell what they were with the exception of the fire extinguisher. However the point of the symbols is to point out important emergency information on the map that isn't pictured in my picture. 

8. This photo is on the back of a can of febreeze. What I was trying to focus on was the Recycle symbol which is three arrows all pointing at one another. I like this symbol because it shows an endless cycle and that is essentially the point of recycling. All in all I think the designer of this symbol did an amazing job.

9. This symbol is obviously of the Sprite logo; however,  I was trying to focus  on the lemon/lime fusion. The designer obviously chose to show the fusing of a lemon and a lime to express the flavor of sprite (lemon-lime) On top of just the basic concept, I think the designer made it look really sleek, cool, while still maintaining the simplicity of the symbol.

10. This picture is of a guitar pick because guitar picks symbolize guitars. Although they're also associated with bass guitars, most people just think of guitars.

11. This is obviously a picture of my passport, but what I was trying to bring focus to was the Eagle holding the olive branch and arrows. This is truly one of the many symbols of America, and whenever someone sees it, they immediately think of the USA.
