Chapter 7

The most interesting part of this chapter for myself was the short section on icons and symbols.  I find the idea of a symbol that is recognized internationally to be a staggering feat of mankind.  An icon such as this is the ultimate use of visual aids because it completely conveys all necessary information.  Even though there is very little information to communicate, icons are extremely effective; at a literally a single glance the icon has done it's job.  Icons are like a common language between countless cultures, how cool.
