Semiotics and Illustrator

So, Theory Started. It's all about semiotics. Signs within images and symbols and that kind of thing. We looked at how an origonal painting of a naked courtasan in the "venus" pose symbolises femininity and nature and such, while the pastiche of it picturing a standard prostitute has a very different meaning due to the use of different items and body language that comprised the picture.
There were also some other images, pastiches of the same work which each held different meanings.

Illustrator training has also swung into play. We started pretty simple which was good having never used it before. We made a colour wheel. Learning how use the shape tools, align tools and colour charts and things. It would be on here. But at the moment i can't figure out how to save an illustrator file as a JPG. Good work team.
