Icon Analysis


American Idol is a reality show where singing auditions all over the Country are judged by three famous judges in search of one “American Idol”.  When the singers make it through the first auditions they break the group down each week until they get down to the top 24.  The show allows the top 24 to compete and potentially to be voted off, until the final person will be named the next "American Idol".  This person will be all set with a recording contract and a great career ahead.   American Idol is currently on its 11th Season. 
I enjoy watching American Idol, especially at the beginning of the auditions.  You never know what you will see.  The coolest thing about this reality show is the fact that America Votes once the finalists are determined.  The judges give construction feedback as the weeks go on.

Superman is well known for the Big “S” on the front of his shirt.  This super hero was created in 1932 and sold to DC Comics in 1938.  Superman was born in Krypton and was transported to Earth as a baby.  He was adopted and raised by a farmer and his wife as Clark Kent.  Superman uses his super powers to help humanity. 
This icon is very familiar to me.  Superman’s Icon never seems to get old.  It seems like there have always been Superman pajamas and Superman Costumes ever since I can remember.

This TIVO Icon represents one of the coolest things ever for busy folks that enjoy watching certain TV shows and would like the flexibility of watching these shows at their own convenience.  TIVO works with Cable and Satellite companies with a receiver that you can program to record any show you would like up to the capacity of the device.  You can record more than one show at once and program this to happen without worrying about missing a show.
After having TIVO, I don’t know what I would do without it.  This little icon is definitely my friend.

  1. I really liked the Icons you chose. Two of them I am very familiar with. The TIVO I have never heard of. I might have to look into that, with work, school, and kids, I miss most of my shows. I usually do searches on the internet to find them but that doesn't always work.
