Kopsavilkums	Comparative Visual Analysis is a qualitative research design that systematically examines and compares visual materials — photographs, videos, artworks, advertisements, or digital images — across two or more cases, groups, time points, or contexts. By applying a consistent analytical framework to multiple visual corpora, the approach reveals similarities, differences, and patterns that would remain invisible when studying a single set of images alone.	Semiotic analysis is a qualitative method for interpreting how signs — words, images, sounds, gestures, and objects — produce and communicate meaning within a cultural context. Drawing on the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure and the triadic sign theory of Charles Sanders Peirce, and popularised as a research tool by Roland Barthes, semiotics moves beyond surface denotation to expose the connotative and ideological meanings embedded in texts and visual culture.
