1. The document discusses visual semiotics, which analyzes how images create meaning through signs and codes.
2. Signs derive meaning not just on their own but from their relationship within sign systems and codes, such as language, objects, and gestures.
3. Cultural criticism examines popular and high culture through techniques like describing works, verifying theories, and supporting histories. It analyzes objects of culture like film, media, and lifestyle.
the symbolic messages of two pairs of advertisements (perfumes and cigarettes) are decoded using semiotic analysis in order to compare the different strategies that are utilized to target different customer groups according to demographic variables such as gender and age. The findings of the semiotic analysis are discussed from the point of view of effective advertising campaigns.

Well, I was given an assignment wherein two groups were made and given the same topic to present upon the winning team would get full marks and the losing one gets 50%.... here i give you the best presentation I have ever made in the pressure of getting full marks
This slide deck introduces the audience to semiotics, a discipline of social sciences that extends to structural linguistics to the analyses of verbal, visual, and spatial sign systems. Semiotics exceeds the rhetorical or content analyses of brand meaning as it casts light on cultural codes that structure the phenomenal world into semantic categories that implicates customers in the brand world. Sudio Sudarsan demonstrates the application of semiotics to brand building using a century-old brand, the Muthoot Group.

This week we discuss the role of representation in Media studies. We reflect on the role of language in communication, and we discuss how semiotics works on signs.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. âA message is a construction of
signs and through interaction
with the viewer it produces
meaningâ
(Fiske, 1990)
3. ⢠Semiotics is generally described as the
âstudy of signs.â
⢠Semiotics tries to investigate how images
create meaning.
⢠Visual semiotics is a subdomain of
semiotics that analyzes visual signs.
4. Three important principles when analyzing a
semiotic system:
1. Semioticians believe all people see the world
through signs.
2. The meaning of signs is created by people
and does not exist separately from them and
the life of their social/cultural community.
3. Semiotic systems provide people with a
variety of resources for making meaning.
5.
6. Sign Systems
⢠A set of signs is called a sign system or a code.
⢠Meaning comes not just from the individual
sign, but more importantly from the set of
signs within which it appears.
⢠Codes include language, gestures,food,
clothing, objects, dance, and music.
⢠In real life, just as no one sign stands alone,
codes must be understood in terms of their
mutual influences.
9. Etymology of criticism
⢠French, from Greek kritike, the art of criticism, from
kritikos, critical
⢠Latin, crtiticus, from adjective, âdecisiveâ, from
Greek kritikos, able to discern, critical from kritos,
separated, chosen, from krinein, to separate,
choose
⢠Greek kriterion, a means for judging, standard from
krites, a judge, umpire, from krinein, to separate,
choose (Grolier, 1986: 314).
10. Definition of criticism
⢠The act of making judgments and or criticizing
⢠A passing of unfavorable judgment, censure,
disapproval
⢠The art, skill, or profession of making discriminating
judgments and evaluation, especially of literary or
other artistic works
⢠A review or other article expressing such judgment
and evaluation
⢠The detailed investigation of the origin and history of
literary documents (Grolier, 1986: 314).
11. Definition of cultural criticism
⢠The practice of describing, interpreting, and
evaluating culture.
⢠Cultural criticism makes the term culture refer
to popular and classic culture. It breaks down
the boundary between high and low culture,
and discovers the political reason why a cultural
product is more valued than others (Smith, ed.,
1992: 312-313).
12. Functions of cultural criticism
⢠Criticizing cultural works
⢠Verifying cultural theory
⢠Supporting cultural history

16. An image can be made salient through:
⢠Placement: usually an image becomes
âheavierâ if placed towards the top or left.
⢠Colour
⢠Size
⢠Focus
⢠Distance
⢠A combination of these things.
17. What is most salient?
ďŽ What part of this
image is most salient?
ďŽ Why is it most salient?
18. Reading paths
ďŽA reading path is the path you take through a
visual text. The path moves from the most
salient to the least salient elements.
22. Vectors
ďŽA vector is a line that leads your eye from one
element to another.
ďŽA vector may be a visible line or an invisible
one.
ďŽIt can be created by such things as a gaze,
pointing fingers or extended arms.
26. Framing
ďŽElements in a layout can be disconnected and
marked off from each other or connected. If
elements are cut off from one another they
are strongly framed.
27.
28. Framing.
ďŽFraming can be achieved by borders,
discontinuities of colour and shape, or by
white space.
ďŽConnectedness can be achieved by vectors
and devices such as overlapping or
superimposition of images.
29.
30. Gaze
Demands and offers.
ďŽDemand: subject looks out of the image at the
responder.
ďŽThis establishes a connection between subject
and viewer.
32. Objective images
ďŽThe viewer is not drawn into involvement with
the image. Meaning comes from the symbolic
connection made by the reader.
33.
34. Social Distance.
ďŽ A close up is intimate
ďŽ A medium shot is
close
ďŽ A whole figure
framed is close.
ďŽ A long shot is far
social distance
35. Lighting and Colour
ďŽLighting creates mood
ďŽ-Shadows may suggest concealment or fear
and despair
ďŽ-Light, hope and inspiration.
ďŽ-Soft light, romance.
ďŽColour can be symbolic
