Wk 3 Interactions Between the 3

http://chasingdelicious.com/kitchen-101-produce/

Representational: This is a representation to show “visual information” of when fruits are in season throughout the year. This graph gives an interpretation or representation of information to the viewer to better understand and to be used for reference when it is the best time to buy and eat certain fruits. This representation abstracts into symbols used for expressive and communicative purposes.

Abstract:  This is an abstract graph reduced to use the “basic elements” of pie charts in the form of its shape. For the viewer it gives the outline of the circular cycle that the year forms.  This abstraction is more towards symbolism than “pure abstraction” because it has meaning and still bears “representational information”.

 Symbolic: The symbols in this graph are the written language and words used to describe the months and fruits being synthesized also the graphic in the center which is a logo of the company that produced this image. For the viewer, the symbol is the “transmission of information” that helps explain the graph.  The symbols are “information-packed” to give communicative purpose to the representation.
