Title: Word-Figures
Post by: ZippyDee on April 06, 2011, 03:45:54 am
During a conversation about Synesthesia, I brought up the fact that every word has a figure to me, almost all of them are one connected line. I've already done a few words. Just thought I'd share :D

"Noise"

"Freyaday"

"Illuminating" [attached]



This concept is related to sound symbolism, which plays its part in stenography. :D

They fit because they're based on the sounds themselves.
Also, if you haven't noticed, they tend to read left to right. I dunno why.
