Abstract:	"Symbols transmit specified information from sender to receiver within specific cultural boundaries. The use of symbols, in fact, appears in visual communication in various forms. While decoding symbols requires a social consensus, identifying them requires further research in the history of visual communication, semiotics, and cultural studies. This thesis proposes a new research tool that fosters and facilitates design research by identifying symbols within a specific culture to help graphic designers gain qualitative insights to evaluate the use of symbols in Graphic Design." Keywords: symbol, symbolic modes, culture, database, online archive, design research
