Semiotics and Paradigms by the brand

For my quote, I will have to use images that represent the words and that could work together (visually be self explanatory), to help get the message across in my work. I will use pictures of breathing in, cubes for cubic meters of air breathed in and a counter to show how long a person breathes in a life time, together they are individual images.

Denotation – the visual meaning (lateral meaning) e.g. visual representation of the informative piece (the meaning of the graphics piece... what is it communicating)


Paradigms – For informative design a paradigm could be Red, Yellow and Green – as a set together they become traffic lights (Informative design – as we recognise the colours together as a traffic light system, Red meaning stop, Green meaning go.) Individually these are just colours, but together they represent something, which can be deemed as informative design.
