TASK III// RELATED OBJECTS (IMAGES)
1. DUCK
Perhaps not that interesting as an animal itself- though the motion, and the movement that ducks make on the water could make for a strong visual communicator?
2. BREAD

3. BOAT
Obviously not a great example- bread not floating on the water- not a lot of potential in the idea, but good to exhaust all potential avenues nevertheless.
The bobbing motion on the water produced by the momentum of the boat upon the water could be quite interesting as a "float" motion- could play around with the anchor points as well as the positioning of the word as a whole, or the separate letterforms- manipulating the "current" produced by the waves and the steadiness of the word through the "boat".
4. FOAM SWIMMING LESSON FLOATS
Foam floats are used in swimming lessons in order to help beginners have confidence with floating on the surface of the water.
5. FISHING BAIT
A fishing float- helping the fisherman distinguish when a fish has caught the bait.
6. BUOY
An inflatable object found in seas and oceans, with various uses including an anchoring point and safe water boundary markers, etc.
7. LIFE RING
Life rings are thrown into the water to help overboard passengers/crew members of swimmers, in order to help them float on the surface and prevent accidents/drowning.
8. LIFE JACKET
Life jackets are worn to help aid buoyancey on the surface of the water and prevent drowning- particularly useful when worn by people with disabilities and/or those who cannot swim- a safe aid for those who may not be able to swim when in danger.
9. HELIUM
The gas element, Helium, most commonly used with balloons, is pumped into objects to help them float.
10. BALLOONS
See type about helium above- can also temporarily float with air (breath).
11. SWIMMING
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Swimming.breaststroke.arp.750pix.jpg
Swimming upon the surface of the water to help maintain air circulation and buoyancy.
12. CARNIVAL FLOAT
Swimming upon the surface of the water to help maintain air circulation and buoyancy.
12. CARNIVAL FLOAT

14. RUBBER RING
A popular lilo-like tire inflatable used for sitting in/upon and floating on the surface of the water, usually in a swimming pool.
15. LILO
An inflatable lilo (similar to a rubber ring- see above) which is used to help float upon the surface of the water (usually in the sea/swimming pool) and relax- usually sunbathing.
16. CORK
When placed in water, cork, like various other materials, floats.
17. WATER
Water- one of the two major elements (water and gas) which help materials to float- an example above of the boat floating on the surface of the water.
18. GAS
Various types of gases, such as helium, when pumped into objects such as balloons, enable them to float.
19. SNORKELLING
Floating on the surface of the water when snorkelling is important to ensure that air can still be taken through the snorkel mask pipe.
20. CANDLES
Floating candles in top of the surface of water.
21. FISHING
In the sport of fishing, various floats are used to help the fisherman distinguish when bait has been caught, etc.
