Media Language: Magazines

Media Language is the way in which the meaning of a media text is conveyed to the audience. One of the ways that media language works to convey meaning through signs and symbols (semiotics). Signs and symbols in media texts are polysemic which means they are open to interpretation and son can have more than one meaning.

To understand the signs and symbols used within media texts you have to use denotation and connotation.

We have already explored the media languages used on the front covers of magazines, see diagrams below for a reminder.
