Semiotics of images

The semiotics of images is the literal meaning of the purpose (denotation) and what you perceive it to be (connotation).these are important aspects of the magazine as it allows the consumer to get an idea of what audience the magazine is targeted to without having to read it. Therefore I want to make my front cover for my school magazine as clear, fun and interesting in order as possible in order to entice people to pick it up and have a read. For my front cover I am going to take a medium/longshot of a primary student in their uniform having fun doing an activity, this image will be used to emphasise that the school is fun and that the contents of the magazine can be deemed fun too.
