The semiotics in this piece freedom wise are easy to understand everyone knows that the dove is a sign of peace, but the freedom bit might be a bit harder to understand. the broken bars that the dove is behind reprent freedom letting the dove come and go as it pleases, but would the audience be able to interprate theimage it that way. well i think that everyone knows the meaning of the dove and should be able to guess that straight the way but the bars i dont think that the audience would associoate broken bars and/or railing with freedom. the colours are very bland and muted, drawing your attention to the dove. this has the same effect as the image below but may not be interpreted in the way it should be. perhaps i should think about a similar approach for my stamp design but colud thiss effect be acheived on the illustrator? perhaps i should consider which media would be most appropriate to create this kind of effect. this peice inspired me to produce the two half dove with one side whole and the ohterside as a skleton.
