Aesthetica - Front page semiotic Analysis

    Aesthetica Magazine Issue 94
  • Firstly , one thing to notice is the simplicity of the front page , the page is not overly crowded with text and images it have one main image and the only text on the page across the masthead. - This is a key reflection of Aesthetica's house style.
  • This issue was released during April/May 2020 during the peak of corona virus when the world to a stand still .
  • This front page cover portrays a message that during these unprecedent times we should all hold onto human spirit , this issue as stated is a celebration of human kinds resilience.
  • This explains the mise-en-scene of the two women holding a hand gesture which looks like an infinity sign. This image connotes interconnection between human kind even through these uncertain times of social distancing and self-isolating.
  • The bright colours the women are wearing emit  much needed positivity and brightness to these tough times.   
  • The fact that both women are black , expressing their natural hair and features with minimal makeup and no sexualising clothes , shows the progress made for equal rights and black women to be presented in the media
