This research investigates the introduction of innovative designs through content and semiotic analyses of the visual codes of two wine regions: one known to be traditional (Bordeaux) and the other to be innovative (Barossa Valley). The content analysis indicates that the Australian wines differentiate themselves by choosing various themes and styles of illustration, while still conforming to the dominant visual codes for the layout, composition, typefaces and colours. Furthermore, the semiotic analysis shows that the themes and styles of illustration introduced in the Barossa category carry ‘signifieds’ that are relevant to the product category. Thus, the results indicate that the Barossa wineries fulfil two conditions suggested by the literature: moderate novelty and ‘ideal incongruence’ (unexpected but relevant). More importantly, by analysing the meanings of the visual codes used in the two wine regions, this work decodes the elements of graphic design language for the wine category, thus elucidating how it is possible to create a wine label that is unexpected but relevant. Finally, the research allows the identification of four main strategies for brand positioning and indicates how to express them through label graphic design.

Cartographic symbols on crisis maps serve as means of depicting information about the position, properties, and/or numerical values of objects, phenomena or actions specific to crisis mapping. Many crisis cartographic visualisations require simple, clear, categorised and visually organised symbols that can be easily read and understood by a wide range of crisis map users. Cartographic symbol sets for crisis mapping depend on effective graphic design, good availability (sharing and promotion, dissemination and promulgation) and standardisation (ensuring the general and repeatable use of map symbols). In this research, our aim was to examine the extent of these challenges in current cartographic symbology for crisis mapping. Through a comparative study of prominent symbol sets, we analysed efforts invested so far and proposed future directions. The results of this study may be of assistance in understanding less unified or coherent symbologies currently in use, or in revising or amplifying existing sets for future publication.

We could say that many museums around the world come to life with different content, that they offer different experiences to visitors and that they have colourful and rich facilities based on structure or collections. Within this variety, although museums with collections in graphic arts and designs are few in number, they also have an effective and intriguing feature. This research aims to evaluate the international museums that have a collection in connection with graphic arts and design, the evaluation in the process from the date of establishment to the present day. 10 different museums covering graphic arts and their productions and collections on the international scale, shape the content of the research, and in this context, the museum and museology phenomenon of the Cretan Typography Museum are evaluated within the context of the target audience with its fields such as history, interior, collection, education. Keywords: Graphic design, Graphic arts, art, design, typography, museum, museology, Cretan, Greece
