Semiotics is a process in media studies that studies signs such as:
- Colour of text
- Type of font
- Background Colour
- Image
- The shapes and areas on the cover
These signs are to show what the world is like in that magazine and it helps you to read between the lines and would make you want to read on with the images and the colour in that magazine. they choose bright colours in the masthead and also sub headings so it brings people closer to read the magazine. Also they have put a big image on the cover of someone at college would know and want to find out why he's on the cover of the magazine. They use sub headings with college based themes so you can tell that it is a college magazine and also the Masthead has a big heading of College which shouts out to all college students.
