Description

"Images That Work focuses on the creation and presentation of words and pictures in ways that communicate genuine substance from real people - including corporate entities and institutions and anonymous committees - to other real people. Oller and Giardetti provide a simple, comprehensive, fully consistent theory to explain why some messages and images communicate more effectively than others - and then how specialists in advertising, marketing, and corporate communications can apply that theory. With examples and illustrations grasped easily by academics and practitioners alike, they give readers a solid grounding in semiotics, the study of how meanings are constructed and construed in signs."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

Communicators in every medium from Hollywood to the classroom and from the mall to the grocery store aim to capture attention, to motivate action, and in some way to turn a profit for themselves and perhaps for others as well.
