We review the use of imagery, semiotics (the study of signs and symbols), icons and their design and use on various platforms, and the use of typography.  The album art is an example from CNN’s election coverage showing effective use of imagery, typography, and information graphics.  Note, for instance, how powerfully informative the candidate photos are in this context.  Note how the typography, all in one or two fonts, effectively varies point size, capitalization, color, boldness, and underlining to structure the page.  Take a close look at the “voting”, “processing”, and “too close to call” icons used at top-right.
