Abstract

The essential relationship in graphic design and semiotics has been analyzed in this paper and the role of symbols in communication between human and culture as well as information has been discussed in combination with various examples in daily life such as image symbol, indicator and symbolic sign. Then the significance of recognizing and stressing symbols and their expressions have been analyzed further to strive to find symbols’ feature and apply symbols in design more accurately. Finally, variable control has been proposed in choosing graphic design symbols, to guarantee designer's design ideas and inner feeling can be appropriately expressed in the works.
