Relationship between Digital Color Image and Semiotics in Peace Posters

Abstract

Even with the development and progress of science and technology, peace has always been a topic to be explored, and many design competitions about peace had appeared, with people showing what harmony was and the beautiful vision of peace from different perspectives. This paper attempts to analyse from a semiotic point of view what elements of peace symbols the creator’s creations were made up of, the reason being that the selection of symbols and the application of the symbolic elements were an indispensable presence in the creation of posters and are utilised for communicating the subject. Therefore, this study adopts a unique children’s perspective to explore the direct or indirect relationship between symbolic elements and colour through the software to quantify the selection of poster samples systematically and ultimately to summarise and collate to explore the relationship between colour and semiotics of the analysed posters, hoping that this research can be more effectively used in the subsequent creation of the posters or symbols and colours to assist and help the role of the poster.
