Semiotics

Signs

Semiotics means that it is a sign or an image that doesn't need words to explain what it is and how it works, road and street signs are a big example of what a semiotic is, they are everywhere you go they are even on your clothing you just don't take notice of it and how useful it really is, if there was no sign on a toilet door telling you that it is a toilet or which is female or male you wouldn't use it because you wont know that it is there or which one to use or if a road sign was put into words not an image you wouldn't be able to read it in time because you are driving, these two examples showing how important semiotics really is, it doesn't have to be a picture to know what an object is you can take an everyday object like chair and show it to someone and they would know what it is and what it is used for, they wouldn't need writing to explain what it is and how it works this example proves how useful semiotics really is.
