Steve Cutts Illustrations

I've found that after studying the aspect of Semiotics and signs (coding) in our context sessions, I have been more alert and aware of such circumstances that represent their own semiotics and mental concepts in everyday life - such pieces are especially found on social media sites, as in this generation people tend to be more impatient, and want an image that will be eye-catching and get a point across, therefore I feel like artists such as Steve Cutts who produces opinionated illustrations, needs to get their signs leading to a similar
point of view.
In order for his pieces to be effective, Cutts must know how to represent each of the symbollisations through representing them in hidden messages that with knowledge of the viewer, will become signified effectively. In addition to this, mental concepts such as the political and archaic points of view that the artist produces, must equal to a similar outcome for his images to be effective. It's obvious that the images themselves retain a purpose, and I think that there is a nice contrast between the childlike cartoon style and colour palette against the adult themes within the images.
Moreover, I feel that Cutts could represent such illustrations in Newspapers etc. without the content being signified by the wrong audience (such as young children) therefore using visual imagery it gets points across to a wide range of viewers that he may not be able to
sum up in words or it not be deemed appropriate to do so.
