Intermediate Computing: Reinterpreting A Cliché
Imagery seen too frequently is often not seen at all. This is the case with overused design symbols and everyday objects. Overuse renders them ineffective, and they lose their power to communicate. It is the function of the designer to revitalize these cliched symbols and objects by interpreting them in individual and personal ways. The following twelve examples of typically chiched objects will be reinterpreted.
Heart
Stars
Clouds
Sun
Rose
Apples
Key
Nuts and Bolts
Eye
Trees
Mouth
Light Bulb
