Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: In electronic applications, the graphical user interface ("GUI") contains information on many levels of visualization. The user interacts with the computer by manipulation of graphic elements on the screen, the smallest unit being the icon.  describes a pilot test conducted with eight students at the Norgian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The hypothesis is that simpler, less visually complicated icons will be understood (thus picked up) first. The more immediately communicative an icon is, the faster the response, hence, the lesser the cognitive load. An unconventional test method was used: students re asked to place user-interface icons from daily computer-use (e.g. "HOME") on a dual-axis matrix, based on their immediate reaction. Through the pilot test, the author attempted to discover the relationship beten 1) visual interpretation of icons and 2) the speed in which they are understood. Results shod that there is a consistency in how the icons re interpreted visually. The results also demonstrated a relationship beten an icon's design and the order in which it was picked up. Future studies will target these issues more specifically
