Semiotics within magazines

Semiotics refers to when the text on a magazine ties in with the image on it.

 
When this picture is seen on its own it seems rather weird in a sense that one of the boys is embracing the other. They both have awkward expressions on their faces. On looking solely on the image its hard to decipher what the magazine entails and what relevance it has to alternative rock music.

 
When the text is put over the top of this image we see how the text has made the image make sense. It says “rocks odd couple” which immediately makes the awkward positioning and facial expressions gain purpose.

Also the colours that the models are wearing tie in with the colours of the text.
