Dual Coding

As a Finance and accounting major it is safe to say i normally do not notice how visual arts impact my thinking daily. However putting a little more thought into as asked for this entry i think i may have come up with some examples. One of the main examples that came to mind was Disney World. However when i put more thought into it the main reason this example comes from the idea of having a patten so no other company can use the same image, logo, name etc. Disney World holds the rights that no other company may use the famous "mickey ears." Having this makes it that no matter where we are in the world if we see those mickey ears our thoughts immediately transfer to thinking of Walt Disney World, Land, Euro etc. So as i said before hand as a Finance major I'm not that sure if this is the correct example, however this is what comes to my mind when i think of examples on how one image will direct your mind to a certain thing.
