Lecture on Communication, Semiotics and Linguistics

Hello again, here you will find the references for the second lecture.

The name of this Masterclass consists of adding concepts to the advertising pieces.

Applying creative thinking tools in order to “speak” to the mass, the segmented public and the individual receivers for the ads to work show how much you care.

The promotion, product, service or experience creates a whole system to the consumer. The fundaments of communication can interact with different fields of study in order to create a whole and coherence system.

When used properly, art, organoleptic and ergonometric properties, semiotics, signs, the semiosphere case studies, linguistic units and decoded pieces bring each project to a whole new level. A level desired by many but understood by few.

Enjoy and be free to send your questions or comments.

Remember: Advertising is full of signs… mean it!
