Deconstructing Advertisement: Signs and Symbols Empty Deconstructing Advertisement: Signs and Symbols

Signs - defined as anything that creates a meaning and can be used to represent something else.

Symbolism - used in advertising to represent a particular brand, company or one or more ideas.

Both signs and symbols are graphical presentations but people often use them interchangeably. The main difference between the two is that a sign is a language on its own and it is used to communicate something to people while a symbol is subjective in nature and often requires interpretation.


Here is an Example:

Heavy Rain Symbolizes No Classes

There is a Heavy Rain today, so it gives a Sign that there would be no classes tomorrow.


Widen the difference between the two and what are their similarities?

Symbolic advertising is an advertising brand that can be a hard job for any designer, but in the cultural aspect of society now using symbols is a key way of creating a look for a brand. Symbolism, is the use of representing things by relating them to something, which in a whole doesn’t really make sense. So, hypothetically a company could use a celebrity for a brand and that celebrity drinks the brands smoothie and acts as if the smoothie was delicious. This would then underpin that celebrity as someone who enjoys that brands smoothies.

I think Symbolic Advertising is like for example Jollibee, they advertise by saying "Bida ang saya" which mean when you eat on that fast food you will be happy.

For me i think to simplify what they advertise, the advertisement will be too boring if they use too many text/words.
