Learning about semiotics has been really valuable in regards to the rest of my
formal design education. It has given me a toolset, so to speak, of graphic design
formulas to set up a page and make things visually interesting with a clear and
concise message. Utilizing these formulas gives my designs a much more
grounded point and a more interesting and efficient way of presenting my ideas. It
is a much better way to work for certain projects that may need modes of
persuasion to capture the eye of a passing viewer. This lesson has also given me a
valuable set of vocabulary to identify when viewing others work during critique, or
just understanding the design around me.
