Semiotics

REMEMBER. Signifier's aren't only visual, they apply to sound as well.
Semiotics is the study of signs.
We look at three types of "signs"

  • Symbolic - The learned codes. E.g numbers, letters and punctuation marks.
  • Iconic - Resembling or imitating the signified. E.g photo or realistic sounds.
  • Indexical - Where something is directly connected to the signified
