I am familiar with the text from Topics In Graphic Design. I read the article, but didn’t have any specific questions or thoughts. It is interesting how there is so much to say about the ad, design, and meaning of the picture itself. I wonder if people would have gotten the true meaning of the ad, and if that ad was success enough to increase sells.

Assignment 9

The interpretation of “it is metonymy which furnishes the image with the greatest number of its connotators, and that among the parataxes (or syntagmatic figures), it is asyndeton which predominates”, can mean that an image has many implications as well as the text that follows that implication of the image. However, straightforward text  that is “asyndeton” it does not use conjunction words like “and” because it helps text to stand out more. 

Paradigmatic expresses metony because it is similar in the sense of describing a concept or the perception on how you look at things.

Was the overall message of the essay about how “A picture is worth a thousand words”?

Assignment 9 for April 19

Our reading for next week is Roland Barthes’ 1977 essay, Rhetoric of the Image. Here is the PDF: Barthes-Rhetoric-of-the-image

As you read, please make note of all important terms (ie. polysemy, linguistic sign, connoted, denoted, etc.), especially if their meaning is unclear.  Also make note important points that you don’t completely follow. Record a brief list of questions you have concerning the essay. When you’ve completed the reading, drop these notes into a post; this is the only submission for the week.

The second 2-3 page paper will be a response to this article, and will be due on April 26. In this paper, you’ll critically examine a contemporary advertising image in a manner similar to Barthes’ approach. You will be expected to employ the logic and terminology that Barthes uses in this text.

You should begin to consider the advertisement that you would like to address for your essay. It should be an advertisement organized around a single photograph. A full page print ad is preferable. Please bring ideas to class next week.
