Visual communication

[tZ]

Not really a critique but, I would like to know what comes to mind here or what the image represents.

thanks

First I see a ribcage, then beehive, then apple. Now a fossil. But it doesn't stand out to me as anything definitive, if that helps.

[tZ]

Here's another example although to me I think the first communicates better but, we'll see.

[budafist]

I realise it is skeletal, but I still think of lungs.

[sierng]

Ribcage, Butterfly, spiderman, breathing, ...sticky tape, balloon.

[morea]

rib cage here, too.

[Drazan]

first: a damaged or infected lung. red=urgent, harmful, warning

Second: could be anything, science, health, death, depending on context. It's pretty generic.

[double A-ron]

Prison, caged, traped.

That's what I get from looking at the second image.

[frankster]

I'm seeing a chest cavity/ribcage and an apple, so my brain is making the connection between say an illness like heart disease and one's diet. "an apple a day keeps the doctor away".

Apple Computers brings Death?

The Apple of Eden brought Death to Mankind?

If you eat the seeds of an apple core, they could get caught in your ribcage?

[jamodu]

a ladybird

[carolyn]

smoking will fill your lungs with blood and turn your bones black

[CkretAjint]

lungs within a rib cage.

[icekitty37]

first thought was ribs and lungs.

[dsydesign]

I first saw a ribcage/lungs/etc.

what was I supposed to see?

[balou]

From the b&w image, ribcage & esophagus. With the red color, I think of lungs too.

[Samakimoto Graphics]

I see same as the others above:

#1 - apple in ribcage, red colored lungs (bloody lungs), a person's ribcage with bad posture.

#2 - Rib cage.

So really: what are you communicating?

[hewligan]

Is anybody else beginning to suspect that tZ hasn't posted again in this thread because he's just trying to drive us mad with curiosity ;)

Oh, and I see a ribcage.

[Danger_Mouse]

Rib cage representing mans internal instinct to club baby seals.

Beautiful.

[WannaBrie]

I see the obvious ribcage, but the first thing in my head was "lungs" maybe becuz of the red color? Or maybe thinking about it more, cancer or death due to some kind of lung disease?

[tZ]

"an apple a day keeps the doctor away"

Well… kinda- apple and ribcage.

Thanks for playing.

[frankster]

This is going to sound a little odd, but when I guessed "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" I was kind of getting that through guessing what you wanted it to convey. Having seen your work around the gdf it's possible to get a feel for how you work and you are very thorough with explaining your thought processes, so that's what led me to draw that conclusion.

If I was looking at this completely objectively then I would have to say that the ribcage doesn't really put across the "health" message, probably due to anything skeletal usually being associated with death. Just think of all the plague paintings with death as a skeleton etc.

What is the purpose of the project?

[CkretAjint]

What about an apple, kind of heart shaped, with a doctors head thingy on. Or a stethoscope hanging from it?

[tZ]

The purpose was just to take a object and give it some higher meaning. Its not really for anything just a design exercise. However, The "idea" I guess you could say was merging a apple and ribcage. Didn't really have anything to do with health just putting the two objects together to give higher meaning to one. I just wanted to have an idea whether or not the objects were being somewhat communicated or not.

[Broacher]

Maybe it's because I'm a Windows user, but I didn't see that apple.

Mostly, I saw lunch... but that's another story.
