Designing Symbols for Change

My experience in the Cooper Hewitt was fun and interesting and very fun. I learned many things about symbols and it was used throughout history. Such as in the Olympics in Germany, Japan, Mexico, and one other I can't remember. But the tour guide was showing how the symbols were used for the Olympics especially since so many countries are participating we need something everyone can understand and it would be the symbols to be used to show the sport that is being represented and how each time the Olympics was being hosted each time the symbols were being changed so it can better representing and more understood by the people in the world and overall each year the Olympics are being held it changes and changes with time and you get to notice each year how it's improved and how it can be improved throughout the year. Later on the trip, I was able to partner up with my friend to make a symbol to show a worldwide problem that is happening right now, then I and my friend chose poverty and learned how the process of making a symbol is done by picking colors shapes, and what symbols or other things like such can be added. We made a symbol of a homeless person holding a sign showing how he has money or how the homeless person has no source of income on the streets.
