Last week, I've learn about the term semiotics. This is a word which i always heard from my previous history class lecture during my foundation. When ever we tell him about our point of view of a painting, he will always says that " It is so SEMIOTIC". That is how this word got stuck in my head.
My definition of semiotic is about the interpretation of a symbol, sign etc. This is showing the way how you explain in your own. Different people have their own way of explaining. One symbol or sign can brings out different messages to different people. If you explain in a way which is different with others, others will said that it's very semiotics to explain that way.
This is one of the link which has an article about how semiotics relates to media. This is a very useful link which gave me a lot of theories or answer to my question.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), semiotics concerns with
1) “the branch of medical science relating to the interpretation of symptoms” and
2) “the science of communication studied through the interpretation of sign and symbols as they operate in various fields, esp. language.”
Semiotics relates to media by having communication from sign and symbols from our design. We sent our message through media as a designer. This is how semiotics come in media.
The basic concept of semiotic is the structure of a sign. In semiotics, sign has two categories which is signifier and signified. A signifier without signified has no meaning, and the signified changes with person and context. The relationship between the signifier and the signified is arbitrary.
This is what i have coop during the class last week. ^^
