Emoji Presage
Emojis, the small digital icons that have become integral to modern communication, transcend linguistic barriers and add a dynamic layer of expression to our text-based conversations. Originating from Japan in the late 1990s, emojis have evolved into diverse symbols, faces, objects, and gestures, allowing users to convey emotions, tone, or inject humor into their messages. From the ubiquitous smiling face to the more elaborate and niche representations, emojis have become a universal language, enabling users worldwide to communicate more nuanced and playfully across cultures and languages.
The word “presage” is a versatile and evocative term in English. “Presage” can denote a sign or indication of a future event, embodying a sense of premonition or prophecy. It encapsulates foreseeing or predicting something to come.
Emoji Presage predicts which emoji from a stack of emoji cards a spectator will select. But Emoji Presage is much more than a simple pick-a-card trick. In a most hysterical way, Emoji Presage examines the creative linguistic phenomenon of using nothing but emojis to construct complete sentences. The results are funny and involve the entire audience trying to decipher the meaning of the string of emojis.
The large cards include unique and cleverly designed emojis that add to the fun. Graphics of the emoji sentences are provided, printed on 8 1/2 x 11-inch card stock, ready to use in parlor presentations, and as PDFs for download that can be printed any size and even projected on a screen for stage presentations.
