Every aspect of life (denotation) has a meaning (connotation). Everything in Media has a connotation behind it, if it didn’t, that could end up being a vert costly mistake. Every colour, font, font size or boldness connotes a different sign/symbol.
Every single piece of media can be deconstructed to the roots, and you can identify the meaning and symbol behind every little affect, like I said, ‘Every aspect of life (denotation) has a meaning (connotation)’.
As you can see I broke down a variety of components from the tour poster. The pose, the outfit, the facial expression, the font of writing, colours used and the website name. Every one of these aspects of the tour poster were deconstructed and the connotations were listed.
After deconstructing this poster I have taken a lot in for what I would do for mine, the different aspects and all connotations I’d try get across. Obviously I wouldn’t be portraying the same messages as Drake, however after analysing I have a few ideas of how I would do this effectively on a poster of my own. I understand how font, colour and images all help sell a genre and convey a narrative
