Why/how can icons be used to communicate?

Icons are representatives of certain ideas and themes, such as the light bulb being an Icon for the idea of an idea. These icons resemble the ideas or items that they represent.

 


Via the internet, find 2 examples of common icons that clearly communicate their message. 
Post both in this entry and explain your choice.

 
 The headphone icon clearly communicates its message, showing that headphones can be used with this device, commonly placed alongside an audio jack.
 
 This phone icon, modeled after the common dial phones of the mid 1900s is commonly placed alongside areas where phones may be used, or one is available for public use, such as on pay phone boxes



What is the difference between copyright and public domain?

Copyright is an idea, work or other intellectual or tangible property that is protected by law to be used only with permission of the copyright holder. Public domain is an idea, work or other intellectual or tangible property that is NOT protected by law, and thus can be used by any person, so long as this use is legal.
