Semiotics

SEMIOTICS

Dear readers, my second lecture was about Semiotics and I loved learning about this topic..The meaning of Semiotics and the contents of it was pretty easy to understand.. :-) 

Now, I would like to share what I learnt from that lecture based on Semiotics.. 

Semiotic of Virginia Slims

In my point of view the image signifies as the following:

•  promoting a women's cigarette brand
•  the background colour(pink) may represent femininity, it can also represent innocence, cleanliness and   sexual purity
•  the model's head is tilted downward while her eyes are looking up..this is a very childlike, immature pose
•  the model's short cropped hair may be seen as fashion 
•  those catchy words in the picture like "I make my own decision" could show that she has a strong will power

Basically Semiotics is about how you look at things in different ways..whether it's a TV program, magazine or even a book..different people will come up with different texts about the description of subject or their point of view of the subject..
