Hong Kong dialect

I just talk a little with her today. I have hand in some passages (the content of my book) to her.

She thinks about my pictogram again. She considers that I have to design a system for my pictogram. For example, that dot represents a man and this stroke represents a action. And all the things have to be defined, standardised and unified. I said I have take the ancient Chinese pictogram/ kanji (甲骨文) as reference.

She also recommends me to research on the TOMPA language (東巴文) and TOMPA culture. This language is a kind of picture words. This is very interesting and the drawing is just like the pictogram we use now. But this is a kind of special language. Asaba (淺葉克己) have found this culture and language 12 years ago and he brings it back to Japan and use this as graphic design element/ typographic element. It is a kind of trendy things in Japan in one or two year ago.
