Symbols: Basic Signs

Slide Content

The slide displays various basic symbols and signs indicating its focus on fundamental visual elements used for communication. Each icon is a stylized representation of the real-world sign: a plus symbol often represents medical services or assistance; a quotation mark can signify speech or a phrase from text; arrows suggest direction or movement; a warning triangle denotes caution; and stars are typically used to symbolize quality, celebration, or excellence.

Graphical Look

• The slide background is white, providing a clean backdrop for the icons.
• At the top, there's a header with a teal rectangular banner featuring the slide title in white font.
• An assortment of icons is evenly distributed across the slide including plus symbols, quotation marks, arrows, a warning triangle, and stars.
• Icons have a textured look, with what appears to be brush or pencil strokes in yellow and blue colors, overlaying the solid base shapes.
• The plus symbol also appears in a dark blue circle, creating a "button" effect.
• There's a notable consistency in design with each icon having a white outline and drop shadow, lending them a slight 3D effect.

The overall design is modern and the icons have a creative, hand-drawn aesthetic. The use of shadows and the white outlines make the icons stand out against the white background.

Use Cases

• Introducing basic visual language and iconography in a design workshop.
• Explaining universal symbols used in interface design during a UI/UX seminar.
