Semiotics and Semantics (Research)

Semiotics is referring to the study of signs and it's systems. Semiotics are applied very widely around the world however it is very complex. This signs acts as a significant form of symbol where we related to, interpreted, represented or even compared upon. It can be a synonym to a certain thing which helps in communication in the form of concepts.

Semiotics triangle.
Another simple example of the semiotics triangle.
Meaning that an unknown or known object is presented. Then it is studied, compared, and given a certain concept to it and finally is being named in terms.


Semantics is the study or meaning between a sign and symbol with what they are represented as.
Example, a girl can be represented as young, immature, weak or many more. These "meaning" is a signifier to represent the symbol of a girl.
Another clearer meaning using the example of a tree. However, this is more direct.

MEDIA ARTS DESIGN 2 (Week 1) assignment 1

This is the start of a new semester in Beta year and I am still continuing with design classes but this semester will be more tougher than last semester. We will be working more onto graphics and screen-based assignments.
Hopefully I can follow this semester's course and do better things.

This week is more onto introduction on the subject we are going to proceed on.
We got our first exercise on emotion and expression. We have to draw something out of a word given but it is not related to the word.

The first one is love and the second one is peace.
The third one is "morning" and then "dove".
We are then given our next exercise on sketches but it is actually for assignment 1 in advance. We need to do 10 sketches or take 10 pictures of different subject matter. Each subject matter must have emotion and also expression which is not totally related to the subject matter itself.

My 5 of the 10 ideas before the original ones.
