Abstract

Based on Peircean semiotics, this article connects a certain concept of advertising composition with instinct to demonstrate how a specific type of print advertisement prompts a creative kind of comprehension in its reception. Thus, the article proposes that creativity as a phenomenon in advertising and comprehension may be understood semiotically on the basis of composition and the Peircean guessing instinct. The overarching purpose of the article is to show exactly how a Peircean semiotic approach can contribute to research into compositional and cognitive mechanisms in creative advertising, within the framework of ongoing cognitive research in the advertising tradition.
