Semiotics

Todays topic was Semiotics, and through watching he presentation i found it quite interesting.

The fact of how something is portayed, and the signs it shows. People view it differently, it interepret the symbols in different ways.
 An example of this is if you see the word MARIO
that could just mean anything, and isnt as iconic or relatable as if i showed this picture..

Pictures say more than just words, theres no language barrier, so the world can recognise a certain thing or character.

Most of what we talked about other than this i found kinda hard to take in, apart from what you can tell from images before knowing about them, and the messages that certain pictures send intensionally or not.
But it was still worth learning about.
