Find and photograph at least 3 objects from the area’s linguistic or semiotic landscape (signs, storefronts, public art, or graffiti) and take notes for each one while thinking about the following questions for the assignment:
•What does it communicate, how and to whom?
•What are the messages embedded in the object as evidenced by its design, language, symbology, for example?
•How might you situate this object in the area’s context and a neighborhood change process?
•How might it relate to gentrification (they might not)?
Edit / add on to your existing Story Map:
•Articulate a thesis statement (make a claim) about the linguistic and semiotic landscape you examined based on your interpretation of the objects you photographed.
•You should have a map showing where each object was photographed.
•You should have an introductory paragraph that should include your thesis about the area’s linguistic (language) or semiotic (signs / images) landscape. What is your claim about these objects and how they illustrate “placemaking”?
•Make sure you use the reading (Papen 2012) to explain linguistic and semiotic landscapes.
•Each image should have at least one paragraph devoted to its explanation.
•Each paragraph should have a topic sentences
