Modern Hieroglyphs




Isotype is can be called modern hieroglyphs. Egyptians started used hieroglyphs so long ago to communicate to with each other. It is very interesting that we use picture symbol to communicate today. Egyptians used to hieroglyphs to communicate mostly among themselves. However using isotype had widened our door to communicate internationally. Advantage of using isotype is that people can understand the sign quickly instead of reading about what it is about. For example we can understand isotype of warning sign faster than us trying to read about why we should be cautious. Isotype can be not only use for signs but also for map, and things individuals would like to represent. They can be used for personal reasons, educational, map, public places, statistic charts and to communicate internationally.
