Study Guide: Semiotics explained through beards



If you are still working out the details of semiotics, this Buzzfeed post gives a pretty good overview of how signs work, using the elusive "hipster" as an example.

Saussure said that every sign is divided into two parts: the signifier (the face-fur itself), and the signified (the idea of a pretentious PBR-drinker who lives in Bushwick)

Also, feel good about your media studies degree. You can get a job at Buzzfeed when you graduate!
