A presentation on how people can communicate using pictures

1. Talking With Pictures
A Business Idea To Create A Website
Where People Can Communicate
Using Pictures Instead of Words

2. Talking With Pictures
Why don’t we use pictures to communicate when
everybody understands them much better than
words?
It’s because we don’t have rules to form pictures into
sentences. What we need is a visual grammar.
This presentation provides a very basic introduction to
how we can create a visual grammar.

3. I Developed The Concept Of Frames To
Create The Rules Of A Visual Grammar
Every picture will have a frame around it. Rules will be encoded in icons
inside the frame. I am provisionally referring to them as frameicons.
Different parts of speech will have different frameicons.

4. An Example of a Noun
and the Rules Applied to It
A profile of a head represents a person or people. The circles frameicon
represents one, few and many people. The first circle is selected to represent
one person. If the profile faces right it is I or us. If it faces left it is you or them.
The silhouette above is of one person facing right so it is I or ME

5. An Example of a Verb
and the Rules Applied to It
The above picture represents running. The triangular
frameicon represents future and past tense. The future one is
selected meaning will run. If neither is selected it means am
running. If both are highlighted it means shall have run

6. Example of a Complete Sentence
The above picture has the past tense triangle selected and the
individual circle selected. It is facing left so the sentence reads
“You have run.”

7. Extending the Visual Grammar
The next step is to extend the rules to give structure and meaning
to multiple pictures so people can create visual sentences.
Additional frameicons must be also be created. For example to
identify sex or to indicate intensity like good, better, best.
