Meaning 1 Application



Representational


This image is a Representational level of visual information in a form of bee. The Chrysler Corporation auto maker has used a bee form for expressive and functional purposes for the Super Bee concept sports car. We as the viewer recognized that this is a bee based on our environment and experience. The color scheme and body lines help to distiguish the bee like features.






Symbolic



The Thumbs Up symbol has different meanings throughout the world both being a positive or negative gesture depending on the context. In American Society though, the symbol denotes a positive hand gesture that things are ok, a positive opinion, good, approved, or ready to go. The thumbs up hand gesture is most notably associated with movie reviews, where movie critics Siskel and Ebert made popular on their televised review show. In this context, the thumb up meaning is a positive opinion of a film; the thumb down meaning is a negative one. The trademarked phrase “two thumbs up”, originally meant a positive review from both reviewers. It has come to be used as an indication of very high quality or unanimity of praise in movie review and American Society.
