This image represents the phone of all phones. When we see this image we automatically know what it is. The form and shape that it embodies tells us that it is a certain type of phone. The cord, dial, phone piece, and cradle gives us the definition of what it is.
With this abstract photo one can tell that it is simply a key. Although this key does not resemble our car key or door key, it is still identifiable. In the photo the key has been stripped of its detailed design yet with the shadow of the end and tip it still depicts what we know as a key. Even though this key is a much dated key than what they look like today, the tip with the ridges allows us to mentally believe that this is in fact the object we believe it to be. With the most identifiable characteristics of the phone, no mater what shape or form it evolves to, as long as it has the basic elements we are able to determine what it is.
Ever since we started drawing, we have been taught the most basic way of drawing a sun. Just by looking at the color, triangular rays, and circular center, we already know and understand that the object is a symbol of the sun. Of course in reality the sun has no resemblance whatsoever to a symbol like the one above, yet everyone can depict what it stands for and understand what it embodies. The rays are denoted by the triangular points and the roundness of the sun is denoted by the circular center.
