Magazine Semiotic Analysis



CAMERA SHOT: This close up of this artist communicates meaning , through the use of the rule of Thirds, his gaze is in the middle of the top section of the 9 sections, this instantly grasps the reader's attention and also as it is eye level with his eyes, it creates suspense through the enigma of his serious face - Barthes' Hermeneutic code

USE OF COLOUR: Most of this magazine cover consists of the primary colour red and this perhaps relating to the subheading; "Depression: it's time to talk" may connote that this is to raise awareness of this global issue and thus the colour red is almost like a "warning". The colour white is usually associated with hope or peace, so relating it with this cover, it may connote that when depressed there is always hope to get back on track.

COVER LINES: "It's time to talk" is a direct mode of address to the audience advising them to talk out if they ever have an issue, therefore the audience will most likely take on this advice. Also, "Wise words from Stormy, Gaga, Bastille & more" attracts a more larger audience, this is because they are very popular people and therefore any advice given from them, will be taken in from audience which are fans of them promoting this magazine.

GESTURE CODES: Firstly, he displays a serious yet slightly innocent facial expression, this connotes vulnerability and hesitation - relating to the topic, many may be nervous or scared to step forward about issues therefore it raises awareness of this issue. Also, him clenching his hands together like that can be interpreted differently; can connote intimidation and frustration or it can also connote being ready and alert so relating to the topic it helps the audience to encode this message as a way of welcoming the readers to the advice provided from Stormzy and the other artists.











Independent Record Label


Independent Record Label ; 4AD



WHAT 4AD IS:

4AD is a British independent record label, founded by Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent in 1980. It was originally funded by, and an imprint of, Beggars Banquet.The label gained prominence in the 1980s for releasing albums from alternative rockpost-punkgothic rock and dream pop artists, such as BauhausCocteau TwinsModern English and Watts-Russell's own musical project This Mortal Coil

DISTRIBUTION:

While 4AD did not handle any distribution outside the United Kingdom for many years, it had many willing distributors in many countries: Virgin Records for France, Nippon Columbia distributed much of the label in Japan, while PolyGram subsidiary Vertigo Records released many of the label's records in CanadaThe United States had always been a tough market for 4AD, even though its records sold well there as imports. Only a few of the label's acts had deals to license their recordings in the USA, among various labels. In 1992, Ivo signed a five-year distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records so that nearly all 4AD releases would be released in the United States.
