"Semiology is very nurturing, for designers and other creatives, as it offers a way to structure and connect concepts."
What makes semioticians tick? We asked members of the international community of semiotic practitioners to answer 10 questions. Here's a series overview, organized by region.
"Semiology is very nurturing, for designers and other creatives, as it offers a way to structure and connect concepts."
"Listen for what's being said (and not said)… and not just by the loudest voices."
"We should not translate our results into marketing-ese. Semioticians don’t do 'targeting.'"
"Semioticians can create 'magical' outputs — but we have a systematic process for doing so."
"Semiotics plays a crucial — even cruel, sometimes — role in guiding understanding."
"No matter how disruptive our insights may be, we must communicate them fearlessly."
"Semiotics is like the 'Matrix' — it has its own plans for you, no matter what you may have intended."
"Cycling through analytical modes rapidly and productively is tricky stuff."
"Closing the gap between what brands think they are communicating and what they’re actually communicating."
