Sign and Signifiers Task

The type of representation we where aiming for was the handicap category. We achieved this by creating a movie poster which included the handicap sign but instead of using normal sign we made it out of vegetables. We did this because we believe that media often relates the word vegetable with people who are handicapped or disabled. The media uses this word to imply that people who are handicapped are unintelligent, dull, and unable to do anything. The fact that media uses this comparison  has created a stereotype for handicapped people which we feel this poster captures.
