pre-inter-post

what? 'pre-inter-post' is the name of the thesis i wrote as part of my bachelor graduation in 2012. The text starts with an introduction into semiotics, a study into the making of meaning through signs. This theoretical framework is then connected with visual and written examples, mostly from the world of art and graphic design. The text ends with an overview of the different positions between an object and its meaning, that were mentioned in the text.

how? A teacher recommended me to dive into this aera of linguistic studies, as I was floating around the theme of 'representation' in my projects during that time —in a very broad sense of the word. Thanks to the book 'Semiotics - the Basics', by Daniel Chandler, i got an insight in the semiotical methods.

why? This structural approach of a semiotic study very much connects to the profession of a (graphic) designer. By decoding the field of meaning-making, one gets an insight in how object relates to its meaning. A tomato for example, does signifies more than just being a vegetable. This awareness is then of course very related how the viewer reads any visual object.
