Look at the images and write: about Semiology , Compositional Interpretation, Audiencing, and Site of the Image Itself

Semiology

The elements can be said to be hinting at many things as certain elements of the picture suggest . The common notion that bartenders tend to be men is not present in the image . This may hint at a decidedly more unconventional place , a place where progressive ideas are welcome and where conservatism is not the ruling ideology .
