Semiotics Blog task Three

Semiotics is a way of studying signs and symbols and figuring out the hidden meaning behind the words and symbols. There are two types of semiotics they are denotation and connotation. Denotation is a way describing what you actually see when looking at a word or symbol. Connotation is what the suggested meaning is behind the words.

   This magazine shows semiotics by having a relevant masthead which is in bold and called people weekly. It is positioned at the top of the magazine which is the first place most people would look when reading something. There is a red outline around the title, the connotation of the colour red is blood, death, passion etc. which is a relevant colour because the magazine is about 9/11 an event in which a terrorist attack happened 11 years ago.
