I'm embarking on my major project for college and could do with your thoughts if you can spare them..

I'm doing a project part of which focuses on illustrated/hand-drawn lettering and the way it can affect the meaning we take from words and the emotions we feel when reading them.

So, I thought it might be a good idea to see if there are any strong visual links I can mess around with.

To that end can you please let me know if there are any images that you already associate with particular emotions (e.g. hearts=love, sunshine=happiness etc) so I can get the ball rolling with some preparatory illustrations.

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

I've just done a pic for 'Surprise' so you'll hopefully see what I mean.
