Semiology & design
december, 2016
​
BRIEF:
​
"Design an A4 size poster that combines one or multiple Symbols, Indexes, Icons in the same design. Your poster can and should communicate at least a message. You can use Photoshop, Illustrator or by simply drawing."
​
After an intense research on semiology and its importance in design, I discovered that semiotics is the study of signs and how meaning is communicated through signs and symbols to produce audience reception/perception.
It is important for designers to understand the relationship between signs and those who interpret them (target audience).
​
Using Adobe Photoshop, I designed a poster that displays the message of peace and balance using contrasting symbols like fire and water; Yin and Yang and a balanced scaled.
