college magazine anaylisis


 
 

The magazine ‘college lifestyle’ has many different elements to the cover page. My first example of this is the masthead. The masthead reinforces what the rest of the magazine is about. My second example is the image itself. The image itself consists of a young man carrying books. Looking at the books in his hand that are entitled ‘law, business and society’ shows that this young man has some level of intelligence. If you observe the cross necklace that the young man is wearing it shows religion, portraying that he is a good honest person with morals. Another observation about the image is the subject is smiling. This intern shows that the image is a positive image.

My third example of the elements of the cover is the fount and subheadings that are situated on the page. The colours used on the page are bold and contrasting making it eye catching to the target audience. The cover lines are based on stereotypically what college students enjoy doing or are interested in, for example ‘why we love blackberry’ refers to the technology that we enjoy today. Another example of this is ‘Thank god it’s Friday’ which refers to the activities such as partying which are associated with youth culture. Looking at all the elements that I have stated, they are put together to show a positive view on college life.
