Bad Luck (or Good Luck!)
Old Wives Tales
Fiction?
Fortunate (or Chance)
Tall Tales
Urban Legends (or Legends)
Myth (or Folklore)
______________________
I've been able to find multiple superstitious beliefs for all of my icons except the hand weights. I am not sure how I will be able to clearly illustrate them because most are kind of obscure. Almost everyone would be able to remember that a broken mirror is thought to bring bad luck but would anyone recognize that if you brush your hair more than 111 times a day, you or someone close to you will die? With that said, if I do find a way to communicate each superstition, what kind of useful system of promotional material would I be able to successfully create?

You do not have to use all of your icons. If you find nothing for the weights, just drop them.
ReplyDeleteDesign can offer instructional/educational opportunity. If you set up your theme with something we universally understand (mirror=badluck), then the other message can be decoded the same way and we learn about superstitions along the way.
In addition to the titles you have for that theme, come up with a few that tie the concept of superstition to "sleep". Sleep theme has been something you've been working with this semester and I'd like you to make a bridge to this new concept.
