The first project is to develop a family of symbols, with each symbol
representing one of the five human senses. The project will be
divided into several assignments, where you will design five root
symbols, then refine them and build a versatile symbol system.

Final Symbol Sets
Root/Determinants
In this portion of the project, we were to take our established symbol system and use it as a “root” in three new symbols. I chose to go with the Children’s Zoo as my category. Within each category, there was a list of referents from which we chose three to work with
- Petting Zoo
- Animal Bathing Station
- Amphitheater Show
- Feed Dispenser
- Bird Watching Park
- Butterfly Garden
- Zoo First Aid Station
From this list, I chose to work with petting zoo, bird watching park & butterfly garden.
