Hi All

Does anyone have any links or resources they could share for examples or ideas about symbols/cartoons/animations that represent abstract ideas such as:

* voices
* ideas
* listening
* advocacy
* sharing
* participation
* collaboration
* knowledge
* different perspectives (like the elephant from different sides?)
* group discussion
* international discussions
* climate change
* etc.

Trying not to be country or region specific, any advice would be great (the project is to make an animation around participatory media, indigenous media).

Dear Richard,

I very much like the idea of representing abstract concepts in symbols and cartoons.

Usually I find good ones in  Google or I sketch them myself.

I hope this is in tune with what you need.

The guidelines below from The Rapid eLearning Blog might come in useful for those looking for simple artwork. [http://www.developmentart.com See also my site] for some more.

Excellent resource indeed!

[http://www.clker.com A _very_ nice library of royalty]- free images can be found
Most of them are available also as vectorial images, in .svg format, ready to be used with the [http://www.inkscape.org wonderful inkscape].
I strongly recommend it for the artistically-inclined... and even to those who are not (inkscape can convert bmp to vectorial images, thus you can easily create svg from pictures)
