The Semiotics of Illustration: Teasing out the true meaning
People have been reading meaning into works of art since long before Freud, but there are some creatives who wear the clues to their subconscious on their sleeve. The eight illustrators featured in this article share an apparently child-like approach to their work, but the semiotics is often a give-away to hidden strands of deeper meaning.
