The course aims to define the Adv Language as a powerful tool of verbal-iconic design.
A series of teaching/learning activities complete the presentation of the cognitive models and the explication of the grammar that, marking slogans, headlines, jingles, captions and trademarks, change the objects we live by.

1.From the spatial design to the word design;
2.The grammar of the Adv Language between rules and semantic mappings;
3. The adv language around the bod mail-order catalogues and the trademarks of Cosmetics, Fashion, Food and Sport.
