( ) Pretty much what it says it is. A pretty mediocre (but selective) introduction to semiotics which can feel a bit too reductionist at times. Though it is accessible, I found that the lack of textual information actually worked against the book sometimes, prompting me to have to google a lot of terms and context. The last two chapters touch on some interesting concepts and, in addition to the fundamental information it gives about Saussure and Peirce, are what really redeem this book imo. Unless you want to learn a little more about the application of semiotic ideas to the visual arts, there are definitely better introductory books to semiotics and semiotic theory. (Read on Bloomsbury Applied Visual Arts) Semiotics—the study of signs and sign systems—has become part of the curriculum of most art schools, and this accessible, visually outstanding introduction strikes the perfect balance between theory and practice. By examining text and image in advertising, as well as “high art” versus “popular culture,” it reveals the difference between signs (such as a word or picture) and signifiers (the concept or object to which it refers). sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Basic semiotic theories are taught in most art schools as part of a contextual studies program, but many students find it difficult to understand how these ideas might impact on their own practice. Visible Signs tackles this problem by introducing key theories and concepts, such as signs and signifiers, and language and speech, within the framework of visual communication. Each chapter provides an overview of a particular facet of semiotic theory, with inspiring examples from graphic design, typography, illustration, advertising and art to illustrate the ideas discussed in the text. Creative exercises at the end of the book will help exemplify these ideas through practical application. The third edition of Visible Signs features new material from international designers and new creative exercises to accompany each chapter. This new edition also features a new design and layout.
