Signs


 

Conventions are like road signs, learn their codes to make sense


Give way uses the upside triangle, making the text redundant as most will recognise the meaning from the image

 

No fouling, clean up its mess, using an image of a dog and a cross on a symbolic lump of poo

Definitive meaning

Universal signs like Nike uses the swoosh.

Xbox logo meaning fun, Xbox

AA connotative meaning of fixing cars, trust for cars

Starbucks

Coffee, original meaning of siren

 

Red barrel, expecting explosion when shot opposed to darker toned barrel,

Image/sound/word = signified
Meaning = signified

Apple, snake, tree, nakedness = Adam and Eve

Christian belief makes us recognise that it’s them

Denoted meaning

Temptation

 

Smile

Happiness

Sarcasm, not always instantly recognised

Madness

Laughing Buddha, fixed meaning

 

Yells smiley face, peace, LSD

Used I e-mails and then all forms of texted based communication

Girl in bikini objectives the woman, contshells is a connotative for sex, because it looks like a vagina.

Marlboro = signifies and masculinity = signified

Marlboro as masculinity

 

Despite the roman numerals being the main attention it’s recognised as GTA because of it’s font.
