Together, points in space create our visual landscape. A point that interests me is the dot that completes our visual representation of the letter "i". Without that dot, the symbol as it relates to language, would not make sense.
Our eyes are our only way to dissect objects in space into the points that work together to create them. For me, it makes sense to use such imagery and play on words to create a visual representation of the letter "i".
Because of the way our eyes see, dots of different colors, bigger dots, arrows that point to dots, etc., work to draw attention to the point in question. In the case of the "i", none of these differentiating techniques are necessarily needed to draw attention to the dot; our eye automatically sees it because again, without out it, the visual symbol would not make sense. Therefore, the best mechanism to draw attention to this particular point is, in fact, the meaning of the symbol itself.
