Researching the Rebus

(a) Rebus- Using pictures to replace a similar word or phrase.
(b)

This rebus has a picture of a arrow pointing at the word 'aid', which there are three of. This rebus means First Aid, since the arrow is pointing at the first aid.

 This rebus is showing three words, FREE, A, and 4. Then there is a picture of a bee, with a + R, and an ear +Y. This rebus says "Free beer for a year".

Researching Pictograms

(a) Pictograms- A pictorial symbol for a word or phrase.
(b)

This is a pictorial to show that you could bike in this area. Most people automatically know its a bike lane right when they see this picture.

This is the handicap sign. This is meant to show that a disabled person could take this due to their special need(s). Usually when you see this, you think people with disabilities could be here.

This is a pictogram with a cow. I have never honestly seen this, but we could easily assume that this pictogram is meant to show that a cow or cows are nearby. 

(c) I WILL BE DEFINING THESE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, TOP TO BOTTOM.

These pictograms are commonly seen in airports. In order: Security guards, flight attendants, more flight attendants, catering, luggage move, item check, security check, metal wand, passport check, walking way, luggage cart, backpack, wait, luggage belt, and luggage car. 

These are seen in olympics I'm guessing. In order: Swimming, running, badmitton, boxing, cycling, dance, golf, judo, (not sure), basketball, football, shooting, squash, table tennis, and weight lifting.

Researching Calligram

(a)Calligram-A poem, phrase, or word that is arranged in a way to form a picture or visual.
(b)

This as you can see, is a zebra. It is entirely made from the word 'Zebra', except for the eye.

This is a tree. There are words like 'Memory' and 'Hope', because trees usually stand for longevity and new beginning.

This is a camera. Looking into the calligram, you could see words such as 'optics', 'lens', 'focus', and 'angle of view'. These are all words that relate to a camera. 

(c)

This is an ant. In this calligram, you could see the words 'ant'. 'leg', and 'abdomen', which are all in they're appropriate places.

 

This is a panther. In this calligram, only one word is used used which is 'panther'. The 'P' is used as the tail, the 'A' as the hind legs, the 'N' as the stomach, the 'T' as the spine, the 'H' as the front legs, the 'E' is the neck, and the 'R' is the head and jaw.
