Selective information, likewise, is characterized by transmitting what it contains making use of resources such as the design or images of the subject it deals with. It also uses a series of non-semantic symbols, that is, the terms that can be seen in it are not found in the context where they would normally enter or the direction towards which they are directed is not the same.
