semiotics is the study of signs, also of anything that stands or represents something else
when we read pictures we try to and meaning to try and make sense of the image, the media relies on us doing this so that they can take shortcuts in advertising and many other forms of media
Denotations = the literal thing we see when we look at an image
Connotations= what we perceive from an image
For example, the color red presents connotations off,
Anger
Pashion
Blood
Hate
Love
Communism
Stopping
Danger
Evil
