This case was considered a significant corruption case, thus the topic also expanded and became a concern for the society. Due to the importance of this case, Setya eventually became the main figure in the cover illustration of Tempo Magazine's edition titled "Kejarlah Daku, Kau Kubekap" (Chase Me, I'll Smother You) which indicates certain implicit elements including signs and meanings that are interesting to uncover. The purpose of this study is to analyze the visual sign structure and reveal the meanings contained in the cover illustration of Tempo Magazine's edition "Kejarlah Daku, Kau Kubekap".
