SEMIOTICS AND THE EFFECT IT GIVES

Semiotics is when we get the idea of something through the image of something  else, for example  the male and female signs on the bathroom doors tell us  if its male or female toilets.  The image on this cover is of a artist called scorcher. T his picture shows us that  the artist is dressed smart and is slanting his head to the side in a cocky way which illustrates  to us he is trying to look sexy.  The artist is also got a chequered shirt the same colour as the main writing, this  brings are eye straight to the text the same colour which also says the sex issue.
From the semiotics on this page  you can tell that the magazine is to do with sex. The colours used on the magazines cover lines also show which articles are more important than others; the main article is about Scorcher and this is written in white, whereas some of the other cover lines are written in black and in smaller fonts.
