Semiotics

We've been looking at Semiotics, the science of signs, and we learnt about what a signifier is and what visual and audio aspects of media may signify. Later we learnt about 3 symbolic meaning, iconic meaning and indexical meaning.

-Symbolic meanings are codes, numbers, letters, punctuation etc.
-Iconic meanings resembles or imitates the things that is being signified. For example photographs and realistic sounds.
-Indexical meanings are where the signifier uses something directly connected to the signified. For example smoke & fire.
 Ive made 3 logos for myself that show what each aspect of semiotics may represent:

 ^ Symbolic.

 ^ Iconic.

^ Indexical.
