(11) Is the linearity (position of one object in relation to another): • Spatial Response: The objects are spatial yet so tightly related through vectoring and composition as to establish a single purpose. • Locative left/right. Response: The linearity is left to right. • Locative top/bottom. Response: The positioning of the company name establishes its importance as an overarching ‘given’. • Locative centre/margin Does centre unify the information or provide meaning from which the surrounding elements draw their own meaning Response: The centre does unify the information but the surrounding elements do not draw their meaning from it although it is the reason for their existence in the picture. • Is there a ‘locative circumstance’ which relates other participants to a specific participant in a setting Response: No. • Define the reading paths. Response: The reading path takes a circular route which starts at the intersection between the pointing hand and the eye-line of the second participant. From there the eye runs back up the two vectors and down again but within the context of the powerful presence of the car. • Indicate any motion (i.e. cat climbs tree). Response: There is an implied assumption that the left side human will follow with further pointing to other parts of the engine. • Identify co-operative interaction. Response: There is a co-operative element in that the vectoring draws the right side human who is probably before the ‘action’ in this picture a stranger to the left human, into a close relationship based on mutual technical interest. • Discuss multimodal and materiality in terms of typeface, quality of paper, shape/size of text and colour. Response: The modes in use in this brochure include the following: high gloss paper, full colour, hard spine binding, paper size A4, use of variable type size, colour (part of modality marker list): score on 1–5 basis, colour saturation (scale full colour saturation (5) to absence of colour (0)). Response: Score saturated full colour 4. Colour differentiation (scale maximum range (5) to monochrome (0)). Response: Score colour range 4. Colour modulation (scale full modulation (5) to plain unmodulated (0)). Response: Score colour modulation 4. Colour contextualization (scale absence of background (0) to full articulation/detail (5). Note level of degrees of focus, muddy dark background, high degree (5) low (0). Response: Score background context 1. Response: Score background focus 4. Representation (scale maximum abstraction (5) to maximum representation of pictorial detail (0)). Response: Score representation 4. Depth in perspective (scale from absence of depth (0) to maximum deep perspective (5)). Response: Score perspective 3. Illumination (scale full play of light/shade (5) to absence (0)). Response: Score illumination 3. Brightness (scale maximum degrees of brightness (5) to black and white (0)). Response: Score brightness 3. • What are the criterial factors in socio-economic terms Response: The sign-maker has ensured only resonance for viewer will be one of affluent, traditional middle-class © 2004 Sandra Oliver for editorial matter and selection; individual chapters, the contributors
lifestyle. This resonance is created by the suits and ties of the human participants which transfer to the car. • What are power relationships, (sign-maker to viewer) Response: The sign-maker has created the viewer and rejected any other potential purchaser. For example, there may be wealthy purchasers from the world of film, pop music, academia, or even design, who could and would be interested in the car but have, by a paradigmatic choice, been rejected. • What is icon and symbol usage The symbol attribute may have salience through placement, focus or colour. Response: The only icon used is that of the heart placed beside the sub-brand name TECNO with no explanation. The heart with its representation of warmth may be an attempt to humanize the technological hegemony. • What is representation of detail and tonal shades Response: The representation of the criterial elements is emphasized through the detail, locative positioning, depth of colour and use of neutral tonal shades. The three participants are thus emphasized as such with each participant separated through the use of colour contrast, foregrounding and involvement in a network of vectors. Interest (1) Identify if and how people, places and things combine into meaningful whole which is/is not an extension of the meaning Response The ‘people’ and ‘the thing’ (the car) combine through the use of vectors and foregrounding. The ‘place’ is less meaningful. It may be the collection point for a car whose maintenance has been completed or a stand at an exhibition where one enthusiast is discussing the technical elements with another. (2) Unisemic or polysemic Response The picture is polysemic with each meaning unidirectional, one strengthening the other. The meanings are apparent within the context of the text which accompanies the picture and which refers to the sales operation. The left participant must be assumed, in the absence of a caption, to be a salesman who is identifying sales strengths within the engine. By pointing at one element and showing his own authority a second level of meaning is adumbrated. The part of the engine to which the participant points is well engineered so, therefore, is the rest of the engine and through that the sense of quality is suggested for the rest of the car which is not visible. The expression of acceptance on the face of the right participant is of pleasurable involvement in the discussion. Although the picture is polysemic the second and third layers of meaning are not easily identified and to the viewer may not be as readily accepted as by the right side participant. © 2004 Sandra Oliver for editorial matter and selection; individual chapters, the contributors
