Nov. 28: Final project for the Semester - Emoji Set What is an emoji? a word, an icon, or a communication tool? Emojis, created in the 1990’s by a Japanese communications firm, evolved from typographic displays of facial representations or emoticons. These small, digital images or icons are used to express an idea or emotion in electronic communication. In America, Apple helped bring emojis mainstream when it added the emoji keyboard to iOS 5 in 2011. Since then, digital language has evolved and now nearly half of comments and captions on platforms like Instagram contain emoji characters. Today, 1,620 emojis are supported in iOS 9.1. The word emoji, which literally means “picture character,” was added to the Oxford Dictionaries in 2013, and eventually crowned the Top Word of 2014 by the Global Language Monitor. This marked the first time a symbol was chosen. The language is even celebrated every July 17th on World Emoji Day. Millennials grew up with online messaging platforms, so for this age group, emojis are like a second language. A recent survey from Emogi discovered 75% of men and 84% of women respondents believe emojis are a better way to express their emotions than words. According to Professor Vyv Evans of Bangor University, emoji is now the fastest growing language in the UK, evolving faster than ancient forms of communication with quicker adoption rates and speed of evolution. “As a visual language emoji has already far eclipsed hieroglyphics, its ancient Egyptian precursor which took centuries to develop,” said Evans. How Brands Are Using Emojis Scientists discovered that when we look at a smiley face, the same parts of the brain are activated as when we look at a real human face. Emojis actually change our mood, and we might even alter our expressions to match the emotion of the emoji character. The ability of emojis to humanize messaging is one of the reasons why brands started to integrate them into marketing campaigns. Here are just a handful of the successful ways marketers have incorporated emojis:

Welcome Back! Review and critique our Typography Posters, then talk about "obstructions".
The idea is based off the film “The Five Obstructions,” In which Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier challenges his mentor Jørgen Leth to remake a film five times. Before starting each remake, von Trier gives Leth a series of obstructions, or limitations, that Leth must adhere to.
