Introduction to Semiotics

In this hybrid lecture / workshop, I guide BA (Hons) Communication Design & Strategy students (from the Arts University Bournemouth) through Semiotic Theory. We break down its definition, analyse cultural signs & symbols, dissect denotations and explore connotations across visual methods.

Give it a listen 🎧
