This document proposes the concept of a website that allows people to communicate using pictures instead of words. It discusses how pictures can convey information when a common spoken or written language is not understood. The key challenges are developing a "visual grammar" to connect individual pictures into visual sentences and representing abstract concepts. The proposal suggests using framing devices, colors, associations, and new symbols to develop a basic visual language system that could allow all internet users to communicate globally regardless of their spoken language. It envisions that with input from many users, an extensive visual language could be created to revolutionize online communication.

Talking with pictures
The document proposes a website that allows people to communicate using pictures instead of words. It introduces the concept of using "frames" and "framicons" to establish rules for a visual grammar. Examples are given of how nouns, verbs, sentences, and abstract concepts could be represented visually using this system to convey meaning without words. The presentation provides a basic introduction to creating a visual grammar for pictorial communication.
Media Language Lesson 6 - semiotics
The document discusses the concepts of denotation and connotation as they relate to the word "heart." It explains that the denotation of heart is a muscle, pump, blood, organ, and body, while the connotations include love, feelings, romance, and sweet. The document also explores how mise-en-scene, or visual elements like setting, costume, lighting, and positioning, can be used to convey meaning and symbolism in film.
Media language semiotics lesson 2 & 3
The document discusses semiotics and media language. It explains that language is constructed by people to produce meanings within their culture. Signs have three parts - the signifier, which is the physical form; the signified, which is the concept or idea; and the referent, which is the real thing. Films use signs and signifiers to communicate meanings and elicit emotional responses from audiences. Different elements in films like music, lighting, and mise-en-scene can take on intended or personal connotations. Effective analysis of media requires understanding how signs and signifiers are used to construct meanings.
Media Language - semiotics incl Goffman
This document provides an introduction to analyzing media texts through semiotics and identifying symbolic, written, and technical codes and meanings. It discusses key terms like denotation (surface meaning), connotation (deeper meanings and associations), signifier (the sign or image), and signified (what the signifier represents). The document outlines frameworks for analyzing movie posters and advertisements. It also discusses how signs can have different cultural meanings and provides examples of analyzing signifiers in images and ads.
Silent film
Silent films were typically shot between 16 to 23 frames per second depending on the year and studio, with 16 becoming most common. Silent film actors relied heavily on body language and facial expressions since there was no sound or dialogue. Live music was almost always played during screenings of silent films to provide emotional cues for audiences. Silent comedy developed as a distinct acting style to bring humor to the silent film medium before synchronized sound was possible and still influences comedy today. Subtitles were commonly used in silent films to convey dialogue and explain the context of scenes.

1) The document proposes creating a website that allows people to communicate using pictures instead of words by developing a visual grammar with rules for combining pictures into sentences.
2) Key elements of the proposed visual grammar include using frames around pictures, different frame icons to represent parts of speech, and rules encoded in the frame icons to dictate meaning.
3) Examples are given of how a picture of a person could represent a noun and indicate number or pronoun, and how a picture of running could represent a verb and indicate tense, to demonstrate how a simple visual sentence could be created.

This document proposes a website that allows people to communicate using pictures instead of words by developing a "visual grammar". It introduces the concept of using frames and frameicons to establish rules for parts of speech and sentence structure. Examples are given of how a noun, verb, and complete sentence could be visually represented using these rules. The next step would be to expand the visual grammar to allow for more complex multi-picture visual sentences.

1) The document defines key concepts in multimodal design including emphasis, elements, organization, contrast, alignment, proximity, framing, color, and sequence.
2) Examples are provided for each concept using images to demonstrate how they create meaning. For emphasis, bold text and enlarged titles are used. Elements include individual images and colors that form an overall meaning.
3) Organization arranges elements into a coherent whole, such as students raising their hands in an organized classroom. Contrast shows difference between elements to make one stand out, like a thought bubble. Alignment and proximity describe how close or far apart elements are placed.
Pragmatics
Pragmatics is the study of meaning beyond the words themselves. It examines how context, including linguistic context, physical context, and cultural context, influence meaning. Some key aspects of pragmatics include deixis, which examines words that depend on context like pronouns; inference, which is how listeners understand implied meaning; presupposition, which are assumptions in language; and politeness, which looks at how language is used to maintain social relationships and self-image. Understanding pragmatics is important for comprehending intention and avoiding cross-cultural misunderstandings.
Pragmatics
Pragmatics is the study of contextual meaning and how more is communicated than what is explicitly said. It examines invisible meanings, inferences, and assumptions that arise from linguistic and physical context. Key aspects of pragmatics include deixis, which are expressions like pronouns that depend on context to be understood, and speech acts, such as requests, that depend on context and politeness conventions. Politeness aims to save face by mitigating threats to people's self-image and sense of independence or belonging.
Pragmatics Combine
Pragmatics is the study of meaning beyond the words themselves. It examines speaker meaning, contextual meaning, and how more is communicated than is said through things like deixis, inference, presupposition, speech acts, and politeness. Pragmatics helps explain how context, both linguistic and physical, affects meaning and allows people to communicate indirectly. Understanding pragmatics is important for comprehending intentions and avoiding cross-cultural misunderstandings in communication.

Paul Ekman
Visual communication involves transmitting ideas and information visually through various mediums like graphic design, illustration, animation, and web design. Effective visual communication relies on psychological principles like those described by Gestalt theory. Paul Ekman was an influential American psychologist who studied facial expressions and emotions. He developed methods for identifying microexpressions - brief facial expressions that reveal concealed emotions. Ekman's work has been applied by law enforcement and national security agencies to detect deception through visual analysis of facial cues.
009 mind maps and big ideas
1. The document provides instructions for creating icons by starting with verbal definitions, finding examples to illustrate the definitions, and creating examples that show strong uses of terms.
2. It also discusses adding metaphors to the icon creation process by mind mapping yourself to find metaphors you are familiar with from your interests and experiences.
3. Tips are provided for using thumbnail sketches and applying concepts like EOA/POD to review and clarify understandings, as well as placing historical periods on continua to better understand relationships over time.

The document discusses interaction design and linguistics. It begins with an introduction to descriptive linguistics concepts like surface structure, deep structure, syntax, lexicon, elements, constructs and compositions. These concepts are then applied to design languages, using highway signs as an example. Highway sign language is presented as having well-defined elements, constructs and syntax, along with some allowances for variation between states. The discussion suggests interaction design could benefit from grounding in theoretical foundations like those found in linguistics.
Visual grammar
Visual Grammar
Grammar and vocabulary are a part of our day to day lives. Rather, they’re a basic and important part of human’s existence. If one has no sense of grammar, one cannot even communicate with another person. Everyday that we speak, hear, let our ideas be known, communicate, let our feelings be known to one another, the basic thing that we use to do all this is language and grammar. One of the lesser known types of grammar, and a very interesting one, is visual grammar. Keep reading to know what it is all about.

The document is a daily lesson log for an English class that focuses on analyzing visual and multimedia elements. Over the course of the week, students will learn about visual elements like lines, symbols, color, gaze, and framing. They will also learn about multimedia elements such as text, graphics, animation, audio, and video. Each day's lesson will provide examples and discussions to help students understand how these elements contribute to the meaning of texts and affect how readers interact with stories. The lessons aim to help students meet the learning objective of analyzing how visual and multimedia elements contribute to the meaning of a text.
Commentary Essay Definition
The document discusses reflective practice, which is when professionals introspect on their work experiences in order to improve. Reflective practice involves asking questions after something unexpected happens, such as whether it could have been avoided. These experiences help professionals grow and learn from mistakes so they are better prepared if a similar situation arises again. The document states that reflection has been adopted by all professionals to enhance their practice.
Illustrating the Point: Images as effective communication tools
This document discusses using images effectively in web design and communication. It summarizes Scott McCloud's theories of word-picture relationships from "Understanding Comics" and explains how websites can be viewed as comics. Specific techniques for using images are covered, such as reinforcing text messages and illustrating complex topics. Challenges around ensuring images have clear meaning to all audiences are also addressed, such as providing context through text or tooltips to resolve ambiguity.
Presentation slide FYP1 MA
The document proposes developing an "E-postcard" application that allows users to create and send digital postcards. Users would stand in front of a screen and their body movements would trigger patterns and designs on the background. Users could then add text messages, select icons and symbols, and capture the background as an e-postcard to email to friends. The goal is to modernize the concept of postcards while allowing messages to be conveyed through signs, symbols and body language instead of words.
Lecture 7 semantics and Pragmatics
This document provides an overview of pragmatics from a lecture. It defines pragmatics as the study of speaker meaning, contextual meaning, and how more is communicated than what is said. It discusses key concepts in pragmatics including invisible meaning, context, deixis, reference, inference, anaphora, presupposition, speech acts, and politeness. Politeness involves face-saving acts that minimize threats to people's self-image and independence or connection to others. The appropriate interpretation of language depends on context and can differ across cultures.
Democracy
The document presents a series of images linked by concepts related to citizenship. It prompts the reader to view the images for 10 seconds and try to memorize as many as possible. It then asks the reader to write down the images they remember and provides the correct labels for each image. Finally, it introduces the concept of democracy by breaking down its Greek roots and asking the reader to define it and choose a symbol to represent it.
Understanding others through their communication
How easy is it to become trapped in some form of conflict with others, whether that’s our work colleagues, friends or even our loved ones? Despite all good intentions, we end up feeling a sense of misunderstanding and frustration. But what is the real source of this conflict?
Avoiding PlagiarismPlagiarism involves using other people’s word.docx
Avoiding Plagiarism
Plagiarism involves using other people’s words without giving them proper credit. In this class, giving proper credit means using full APA citations in the body of your paper or discussion post and in your papers. If you use someone’s ideas, you must include a citation – (Bevan, 2020). If you use someone’s words, you must encase the words in quotation marks and leave the citation. Remember, the reader assumes all your work is your own words unless otherwise indicated by the use of quotation marks. If you use four or more words from a source, be sure to use quotation marks, or it could be deemed a form of plagiarism. This can result in you receiving a zero on the assignment and could even result in failing the class. Avoid using websites such as coursehero, as they sell papers that have been produced by other students and can result in you plagiarizing other people’s work.

Talking with pictures
- 1. Talking With Pictures A Business Idea To Create A Website Where People Can Communicate Using Pictures Instead of Words Presented By Team PicTalk
- 2. Sometimes Language Cannot be Used to Communicate This could be because of a number of problems including physical problems, illiteracy, not understanding each others language, etc.
- 3. Pictures Can Often Communicate Information When Words Cannot You don’t need to understand a language or be able to read to understand what a picture represents.
- 4. Visual Languages Allow People To Communicate Without Words We use visual languages everyday including traffic signs, logos, trademarks, warning notices, car indicators and taskbar images
- 5. A Big Limitation of Visual Languages is The Lack of a Visual Grammar There are no rules that allow us to join pictures together so that we can create visual sentences
- 6. It is Also Very Difficult to Represent Abstract Concepts with Pictures How can we use pictures to represent concepts like independence and existentialism or even a word like if
- 7. We Developed The Concept Of Frames To Create The Rules Of A Visual Grammar Every picture will have a frame around it. Rules will be encoded in icons inside the frame. I am provisionally referring to them as framicons. Different parts of speech will have different framicons
- 8. An Example of a Noun and the Rules Applied to It A profile of a head represents a person or people. The circles framicon in the bottom of the frame represents one, few and many people. The first circle is selected to represent one person. If the profile faces right it is I or us. If it faces left it is you or them. The silhouette above is of one person facing right so it is I or ME
- 9. An Example of a Verb and the Rules Applied to It The above picture represents running. The triangular framicon represents future and past tense. The future one is selected meaning will run. If neither is selected it means am running. If both are highlighted it means shall have run
- 10. Example of a Complete Sentence The above picture has the past tense triangle selected and the individual circle selected. It is facing left so the sentence reads “You have run.”
- 11. Some Abstract Concepts are Easy to Visualise Using Pictures Everyone recognises that a lightbulb represents an idea. However a lightbulb can also represent light as well as a physical light bulb. Because Framicons will differ by sentence part there will be different frames for each part eg. noun frames and verb frames. The frame type will give context to the picture and determine its meaning.
- 12. Abstract Concepts Can Be Represented by Non Verbal Things Like Color Different colors represent different feelings and emotions. For example, yellow represents happiness. The above picture can be interpreted as “I am Happy”
