Spray Hand Sanitizer
Dominant Classification Type: Symbol
The drawing of two hands coming together with a droplet in between is apparent. The droplet could represent any type of liquid but from what we can see from the packaging and entirety of the representation it is clear that the form of liquid is used to spray on the hands by the mist sprayer and the droplet of liquid that is on the label. It makes sense that the clear liquid would be a type of sanitizer. Even though we are unable to read the text on the label we can take an educated guess as to what the function is by looking at the image on the label and the color of the packaging. For example, blue-green hues are commonly used for packaging on disinfecting and sanitizing products as well for brands such as Clorox and Lysol.
Travel Jewelry Case
Dominant Classification Type: Index
The viewer can see that the representation is a 3D object even though you are unable to see the inside of the case at which the angle the photo was taken because of the shadows surrounding the case. The edge of the zipper and stitching are visible as well. You are unable to see what is inside of the object but can see that it belongs to someone and that their belongings must be inside by the engraving in the center. There is no certain way that the viewer can be sure what this case is for but we can see by the size of the object that it fits in someone's lap, therefore the contents inside should be smaller in scale. The viewer can then think about items that would have to fit and be stored in a smaller space.
Portable Mini Fan
Dominant Classification Type: Icon
This fan is recognizable because it resembles other types of fans that we see in day-to-day life in a household such as a ceiling, table, standing pedestal, exhaust, wall mounted, or floor fan. It is recognizable as an icon because they all have one thing in common. The rotating arrangement of vanes or blades necessary for fans to function as well as protective guards that are on most fans. The stand, however, could be interpreted as a table fan instead of a portable fan because the viewer is not seeing the detachment of the handheld component from the base. By not seeing that the fan can be handheld the viewer might not know that the fan can be taken with you almost anywhere.
