This semiotic analysis will examine the various sign systems embodied within an advertisement for Rolex (2011).

Hello‚ I am Daniel. Welcome to my semiotic analysis of the Opening Credits of “The Last of Us”. First‚ let’s introduce some terms. Semiotics is the study of signs.

Illustrating a female body in an advertising image is a common case. I have chosen to implement a semiotic analysis of the men’s fragrance advertisement based on Roland Barthes’s theory of the image.
