Representation
The photograph of the brownies is the representational portion of this recipe design. It is clearly a representational element because it is an actual photograph of the finished product.
Abstraction
The ground of the design, which resembles a folder or a tabbed index card is the abstraction. It is the abstraction because though it is not an actual tabbed index card, it denotes the old fashioned way of keeping track of recipes. Another abstraction in this design is the pointing finger arrowheads. They are the form of a person’s pointed finger, but in this case they are a directional tool used to let the user know where to add the ingredients.
Symbols
The symbols present in this recipe design are the degrees symbol (°) and the inches symbol (″). The inches symbol, known as a double prime, is a nationally used shorthand symbol. The degree sign is an internationally used symbol which literally means degrees. They are symbols because they are arbitrary markings agreed upon by the common public to mean what they mean.
