Working with Controls and Themes

Abstract

Every time you pass through an airport or a train station, you expect to see myriad signs directing you to points of interest, such as connecting gates, luggage pickup, or a taxi line. And while the words on these signs are certainly important, perhaps just as important are the accompanying visual symbols. Our minds become so accustomed to visual elements that often we don’t even need to read the words to understand a sign’s meaning, and the presence of visual elements certainly helps when we’re in another country where we don’t speak the local language.
