This Kerrang! Magazine is a music magazine and the feature photo and main article is about the band 30 Seconds to Mars. The writers of this magazine understand that the majority of people reading this magazine would be teenagers that enjoy rock music, they also understand that people, although they want to know what is included in the magazine, they do not want to read a long paragraph of text on the cover and would rather have just to-the-point information, this is the linguistic code. The colours that have been used on the cover work together well, the red and the black contrast well against each other along with the white title and parts of text, this is the visual semiotic code.
You've made some good points here Brandon but you have gone far enough with your semiotic terminology.
