First: Research Background

Symbolic connotations in advertising poster design

play an essential role due to their incredible power in

confirming the attractive factors in the recipient

guiding, educational, or aesthetic meanings and

concepts. If the poster includes two aspects, one

functional and concerned with the content and the

other aesthetic and concerned with the physical

environment in terms of its size, the type of written

letters and their colors and their effect on it, and the

type of shape and expressive symbols, then there is a

third aspect related to the meanings and concepts

intended to be conveyed to the recipient in a way that

contributes to conveying the advertising message in

the best way, which is the aspect that the researcher

focused on in studying this research due to its essential

positive aspect towards what it provides from

different approaches to designing the advertising

poster.

Second: Research Problem:

The research problem can be formulated in the

following question:

Is it possible to add meaning to the advertising poster

and benefit from symbolic connotations when

designing it?

Third: Importance of the research:

1. Stimulating the interactive aspect by identifying

symbolic connotations and their responses in arousing

attention.

Fourth: Research objectives:

1. Identify the concept of symbolic meaning in general

and visual meaning in particular.

2. Find new approaches to employ visual meanings in

the advertising poster.

Fifth: Research hypotheses:

1. Symbolic meanings can be used in the design of the

advertising poster.

2. Symbolic meanings can be employed to design the

advertising poster.

Sixth: Research limits:

Objective limits: Designing advertising posters through

symbolic meanings.

Time limits: Advertising posters 2024

Seventh: Research methodology:

The research follows the descriptive, experimental

approach to investigate the hypotheses and objectives

of the study.

Eighth: Search terms:

Symbolic connotations

- Symbol

The word symbol represents a term given to a visual,

visible thing that is presented to the mind, so an

attempt is made to create a similarity between it and

another unclear thing. Still, it is perceived through the

associations related to it. The Encyclopedia Britannica

defines the symbol as not indicating its intended

meaning, but other circumstances and factors must be

used to visualize its meaning. Hence, the symbol is the

form with the meaning that a person uses to deduce

something or a meaning, and this meaning may be

specific or absolute. The origin of the word symbol in

English is taken from the Greek word Symbolon. It is a

visual reference to something that is not generally

visible, such as an idea or a characteristic. It can be just

a logo or a sign, and the symbol can indicate multiple

meanings according to the surrounding context. For

example, the crossed bones symbol, if placed on a

store sign, suggests the danger of using the place, and

on the other hand, when placed on the clothing of

motorcycle riders, it indicates boldness and

acceptance of taking risks. Many artists consider the

symbol to mediate between the visible and the

invisible and between the conscious and the

subconscious.

In many cases, pictorial symbols turn into abstract

symbols, as in drawing religious places, where there

are now symbols for these places instead of drawing

them, as with the crescent and cross symbols. The sign

is defined as something with specific and known

features, and it is nothing but something that we act

upon and a means to serve a particular purpose, as Zaki

Naguib Mahmoud (1905-1993) explains in his

interpretation of the sign, saying that the sign is the

thing that we take as an indication or sign of the

existence of something other than it because the two

things are found linked, such as smoke, which is a sign

indicating the existence of fire or a fire, and this agrees

with the opinion of Herbert Read**) Herbert Read

(1893-1968), in his interpretation of the concept of the

sign, where says that all that the sign aims to do is to

make us deal with what it indicates or signifies.

Advertising Posters

"The design of advertising posters is based on applying

a set of principles and working on a set of elements to

create a visual communicative artwork based on a

fixed image and taking a printed form or displayed on

a two-dimensional surface" (Musa, 2011, p. 23).

"The art of the advertising poster in its general

meaning is the art of cutting, engraving or processing

wooden or metal panels or any other material with the

aim of achieving printed surfaces and obtaining

different artistic formative effects through printing

them" (14 October Foundation, 2012, p. 41).

1- The study of Muhammad Yassin Abu Al-Ainain: The

cognitive implications of space in two-dimensional

artworks in a selection of contemporary art to enrich

decorative designs.

This study aims to identify the cognitive connotations

of space in two-dimensional artworks in a selection of

contemporary art as an introduction to enriching

decorative designs. It addressed the role of the teacher

in revealing the cognitive factors and connotations in

space and the impact of some scientific trends and

philosophical theories. It addressed space in two-

dimensional artworks in some eras of fine art. It

discussed also the structural elements of design and

classification, types of space, and analytical study of

some two-dimensional artworks.

This study benefits current research by identifying the

cognitive connotations of space and the methods of

employing these connotations to suggest depth.

This study differs from the current research in

addressing the visual connotations of formulating the

natural form.

2- Jihan Fawzy's study: Symbolic connotations of color

and its functional importance in contemporary

decorative designs.

This study aims to study colors and their symbolic

connotations in the field of visual communication by

extracting new approaches to color based on the

analytical study of the works of contemporary artists

and investing in the symbolism of color in supporting

the aesthetic concept of the dimensions of color on the

design surface and reaching a deeper understanding

and importance of color and how the connotation

controls the construction of the design.

This study benefits current research on symbolic

connotation and perception, the importance of color,

and how connotation controls design creation.

This study differs from current research in its

examination of the visual connotations of the natural

form as a source for poster design. 3-Qasim

formation, the psychological factors that affect its

effectiveness, the poster as a means of communication

with the masses, and the educational application of the

poster as a means of communication in the field of

education, and its role in different societies, especially

in Egyptian culture, and the researcher presented a

practical model for designing a commercial poster and

a model for evaluating the effectiveness of a poster.

Figure (1) How the recipient perceives the form

Visual formulation We now live in a world that is

permeated by images, in particular in all fields, as

images fill newspapers, magazines, books, billboards,

television, computers, the Internet, and mobile phones

in a way that has never happened before in the history

of humanity in general. It is natural for humans to

express themselves through images and symbols.

Since the beginning of humanity, humans have used

sign language and different types of signs and symbols

to communicate. Prehistoric humans made wall and

rock drawings, which developed into letters, symbols,

and numbers. Images helped humans communicate

before using writing in messages, as shown in Figure

(3-4). The role of the visual message in advertising is

more influential and effective than the role of words,

so the visual message has become an expressive,

formative, and organic part of all advertisements of all

kinds due to its ability to attract the eye and create an

impression in the mind of the recipient in a way that

words and direct slogans do not have, even if they are

surprising or have a distinctive verbal rhythm. The

visual message contains an overlapping structure of

images, symbols, and graphic drawings. Images are the

essential element of the visual message, characterized

by being dual-functional, as they contain implicit truth

and, simultaneously, are the primary source for

creating a world of imagination. Images derive

strength from the embodiment of truth and feelings

they evoke in the recipient’s s

oul through their

imaginary properties.

The structural composition of the visual message

"Visual messages are received and expressed through

three levels" (Al-Khawli, 2007, p. 14):

The representational level is what is seen and

distinguished from the environment and previous

experiences.

The abstract level consists of the dynamic qualities of

the visual event that have been summarized to the

most concise meanings of clarification and feelings in

the form of a simple message.

The symbolic level is the encoded symbolic system that

man invented and attached special meanings to.

Semantic properties of images:

Impersonal images representing some aspects of

reality are clear examples of iconic signs that combine

to create a specific semantic world. This significance

comes from the thinking and contemplation that the

image has established for the recipient. Iconic signs

have been attributed to the symmetry between them

and the reality they represent, but they do not need to

provide an identical copy of them. For example,

drawing maps of a line that shows a river is considered

an iconic embodiment of the natural river despite the

lack of symmetry of the line shape with the river.

Similarly, a child's drawings of a human being in the

form of a stick are considered an iconic sign because

they fit with the basic structure of the human div

despite the absence of realistic details. Full-color

photographs cannot match some features in aspects

of reality, such as the sense of third-dimensional space

that we perceive in our vision of what is around us

through our eyes.

Recent studies in perception and knowledge have

proven that even with the initial or primitive version of

the image, for example (a schematic drawing) and an

attempt to match it with reality, this representation is

sufficient for the mind to employ the mental processes

specific to visual perception to perceive the actual

image.

Chapter Two

The Semantic Meaning of Forms

Stages of the Emergence of Semantics

Semantics is called "semiology," and by definition, it is

the science of the indicative sign, regardless of its type

and origin. This means that the cosmic system, with all

its signs and symbols, is a system with meaning. Thus,

semiology is the science that studies the structure of

signs and their relationship in this universe, and

consequently studies their internal and external

functions" (Ayash, 1992, p. 9).

Some scholars also call semantics semiotics, as some of

them define it as the study of meaning or the science

that studies meaning, or that branch of linguistics that

deals with the theory of meaning, or that branch that

studies the conditions that must be met in a symbol in

order for it to be able to carry meaning. The latter

definition requires that the subject of semantics be

anything or everything that plays the role of a sign or

symbol. These relationships or symbols may be signs

on the road, a hand gesture, or a head gesture, as well

as words and sentences. In other words, they may be

non-linguistic signs or symbols that carry meaning, as

well as linguistic signs or symbols.

The subject of the relationship between the word and

its meaning was one of the issues that Plato addressed

in his dialogues about Socrates. In the Middle Ages, the

question was whether meaning was the idea or

something else. In historical times, it was found that

thinking about the sign had affected the patterns of

meaning, so thinking about the sign entered through

the framework of philosophies influenced by religions

that believed in monotheism and the existence of God.

Meaning moved from ancient formalism and religious

ideas in the Middle Ages to the modern world through

pronunciation and linguistics, and how it moved from

the fixed concept of producing a formal meaning for a

single meaning to recognizing the existence of

different semantic practices that have their own

systems governed by a qualitative relationship

between meaning and reality (Omar, 2009, pp. 17-18).

We find the definition of semantics as the science that

is more comprehensively concerned with the study of

signs, meaning, and systems of meanings. More simply,

semantics studies how meanings are assigned to signs,

i.e., the relationship between the sign and its issues

and the way signs are linked. The essential feature of

symbolic semantics constantly includes the image of

the idea within it. Thus, scenes of nature, movements

of people, and material phenomena are not intended

for themselves but as superficial manifestations

intended to represent their hidden relationships with

essential ideas.

Types of semantic meanings (Qasim, 2001, p. 322)

Primary cognitive meaning: This type of meaning has a

sophisticated, complex organization; its means is the

level of understanding to convey ideas.

Additional or secondary meaning: This type of meaning

is in addition to the primary meaning, i.e., it is not final

and does not have the characteristics of permanence

and comprehensiveness but rather changes with

changes in culture, time, or experience.

Stylistic meaning: This type of meaning is not just about

individual expression, but also about the influence of

social circumstances on language use, making it a

fascinating area of study.

Psychological meaning: It refers to the connotations of

the individual, i.e. an individual, subjective meaning

that is deeply personal and not characterized by

generality, adding a layer of personal connection to the

study of semantics.

Suggestive meaning: It is a type with a unique ability to

suggest.

These semantic meanings clarify the psychological and

mental concepts of individuals in society, which the

individual resorts to in an attempt to describe and

explain something, and the semantic meaning can be

subject to a type of change as a result of social and

cultural transformation or as a result of the need to

express new meanings to suit frequent use.

Forms of meaning change

A. Specifying the meaning: where the meanings are

transformed from a general meaning to a partial

meaning as a result of adding some distinguishing

features to it, and as we find in Figure (5), the shape of

the handcuff carries many meanings and connotations,

as it was specified here to drugs, although the meaning

can be transformed to something else by changing the

written phrase.

Figure (5) A poster showing the allocation of significance

A. Generalization of meaning: It is the opposite of the

previous specialization, where the meanings are

transformed from a partial meaning to a general

meaning, i.e., the meanings of many meanings, as we

find in Figure (6) where we see a background of the sky

and the shape of a flying dove, so we find that the

designer has customized the shape of the dove as he

wanted, although it carries the meaning of peace, he

placed it in a symbol that indicates many other

meanings and connotations.

B. Transfer of meaning: It depends on a similar

relationship through metaphor and a dissimilar

relationship through design, as we find in Figure (7)

where we see a realistic picture of a woman carrying a

doll and crying, and instead of the designer depicting

traffic accidents, we find that he has resorted to

another meaning, which is separation and pain after

these accidents, so he described the woman crying

over separation and pain for loved ones, which results

from traffic accidents, so the viewer carries many

connotations and meanings in the design.

Research Experience

First: The intellectual aspect of the experiment

The graphic designer and the computer deal with the

purpose of producing graphic designs through primary

stages, starting with the idea where the designer

explains some considerations in the form of drawings

on which he builds what he wants to express and

obtain and collects elements and images from natural

forms to put them in the design, then he formulates in

computer language the elements of shapes and color

and controls his design which includes modification, to

prepare the final formulation of the essential elements

of the advertising design, and choose the appropriate

program for each design and work on it.

Second: The technical aspect of the experiment

The concepts and meanings of technology are

determined according to its position in use in various

fields and activities in life, and in the field of art, some

see that "technology means skill in using tools, and

there are those who see technology as an artistic

method, i.e., the process followed to produce the

artwork in industrial origins.

Third: Technical analysis of the results of the

experiment

By reviewing the group of posters produced by the

computer and designed by the researcher,

RESULTS

1. The visual formulation connotations of the natural
