 Semiotics

Today's lecture surrounded the world of "semiotics" (please note this is not a school dinner pudding). Of course we all have already been introduced to this world before without quite realising it. Signs, images, icons whatever they are called are everywhere; they guide us, advise us, instruct us, educate us, inform us and persuade us as we make our way through life.

If the reader can endure the monologue type diction of the speaker this short You Tube video (link above) is explicit in revealing more about the world of semiotics or, translated into English, "the reading of signs".

Signs come in all shapes and sizes, some our one-offs such as this one, above, or they can be mass produced like the one below.
