Icon - Something that resembles the actual object it represents
Index - Where the signifier and signified are 'linked'
Symbol - Where the viewer has to learn the connection between signifier and signified.
Context - Where, when and by whom a sign is viewed.
Using this in groups we were tasked with turning a basic fairy tail into road icons to retell the story (in our case we chose Cinderella). At first we wrote out the basic story in order, shortened to the key points to give us a starting point.
With that we then turned each key line into an image to see what we had to work with in terms of scale and action going on within the story.
Since we were tasked with using road signs we decided to try and keep the story as close to original road signs as possible to tell the story. Such as we didm;t want to make out own signs with the basic of what the original are. Such as triangle signs are mainly warnings, square inform and circle order.
And here if our final story. Due to timing we didn't have enough to add every signs as a road sign as such had 2 one with the glass slipper and the slipper being picked up. But overall the story really worked. We used motorway signs to give a sense of travel while the dance a walking stop sign. It really worked and people were able to determine what story it was when prompted to guess.
