The third chapter involves semiotic thinking processes while the fourth chapter has some case studies with a semiotic approach. In the fifth chapter, which involves an applied study on the posters for introducing the activities of the Presidential Symphony Orchestra, which includes the design of posters, design processes and their explanations.
