Use your 'own language' to express youself...

The last entry, I used pictures and symbols to translate the definition of "Graphic design". It is called "Rebus". This is one of many definition of "Rebus" which I found online.

Rebus is a representation of words in the form of pictures or symbols, often presented as a puzzle.

'Rebus' is not only used as a puzzle but also is used when people send mail or e-mail together in informal cases.
When you go online, type "Rebus" , you can find many pictures, letters or puzzles which were created by using 'Rebus'.
In my opinion, trying to solve some "Rebus" puzzles is much relax and funny.
They're some "Rebus" samples that I found online. (Click on the picture in order to link to its website)
