From Image to Icon and split-second decision making
Recently a group of us went down to London’s Wellcome Collection to listen to Dr. Martin Kemp talk about his latest research, published in his book Christ to Coke: How Image Becomes Icon. The topic covered different types of imagery: symbols, photos, paintings, flags, nature, science, and objects of design and how, for example, the Mona Lisa or the Coke bottle can reach a global level of recognition that sets them in a league completely of their own.
