"Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose“ – or is it?
![Page 7: Third Sector Skills_Visual communication_Festival of Learning](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5479d5e8b379596f2b8b4831/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Denotation – describe an image as simply as possible. What Barthes called 'the first order of signs'.
• Connotation – emotions, values and associations that the sign gives rise to. What Barthes called 'the second order of signs.'
Two Levels of Meaning
![Page 8: Third Sector Skills_Visual communication_Festival of Learning](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5479d5e8b379596f2b8b4831/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Denotation:What is a rose?
Vs.
Connotation:What does giving a
rose mean?
What it is vs. What it means

What makes up Meaning
•Text – the signs that make up the image•Audience – the targeted receivers of the image •Context – where the text is positioned or located more broadly•Intertextuality – references in the text to other texts•Captions/anchorage – what attaches meanings, limiting polysemic possibilities.

Effect

Task 1: Decon/Recon
1. de-construct the advertisement—Using Barthes method of semiotics (denotation vs. connotation) explain how the ad functions. What does the ad ask you to think and feel? What conventions does it draw on? What kinds of assumptions does the ad make about target consumers? How is the viewer interpellated? 2. re-construct the advertisement—Construct an alternative reading of the product advertised that reveals or brings out other possible components of the product or service.
