Starting the chapter out with 'representation' was just what I wanted to read at a time like this. As I have been thinking about our project number one non stop, I am excited to say that this will be interesting to put together a billboard..... anyway off track.
"A photograph is often perceived to be an unmediated copy of the real world, a trace of reality skimmed off the very surface of life, and evidence of the real" (p. 17)
This quote is very powerful, cause photography is now in an even bigger debate than ever! Because of photoshop, or other amateur photo editing programs, have ruined photo's. One now does not know what is real, or what the picture is saying what it is actually saying. Yah know?
Charles Sander's Peirce had the best idea, because NOW sign interpretation are basically how civilization lives! For example, road signs, emoji's, keyboards, cell phones, apps! EVERYTHING! We cannot get away from it.
Semiotic images have taken over, and that is the exact reason why I am going to college for it.
"
Signifier is the entity that represents
sign is the combination of the signifier and what it means
The Image (or word) and its meaning together (the signifier and signified together) for the sign
Image/sound/word = signifier
meaning = signified
"
Good Job Peirce!
