Semiotics is the theory of signs. Signs are amazingly diverse: from simple road signs that point to a destination, to smoke that warns us of fire, to the culturally-conditioned symbols buried within art & literature, our reading of signs is very much part of everyday life. This book decodes the mystery of semiotics using visual examples.
