Analysis of college magazines

This is the first Magazine front cover that I have analysed.

MASTHEAD

Masthead is called ‘The Reflection’ therefore it may be to do with them reflecting back onto their school lives as it’s a Year 11 Fashion Show Magazine.

It suggests that inside you’ll find

out more about the school itself

and the special events they

organise.The schools main logo is

used next to the Masthead

to show its identity.

The colours used for the Masthead is a dark

sky blue, which makes it look elegant and the

sky blue connotes reaching for the sky

therefore its colour that represents positivity .

The date line For this they have used a simple font that will be easily readand they have kept the font colour white

This is to let the readers know

what issue they are reading and

The strapline ‘High Quality Learning for All’ advertises the school

The two girls

dressed up on the

cover have big

smiles on their

faces this brings

positivity and

connotes success.

The smiles in their faces

Adds to the positivity of the

magazine itself.

The colour of the dresses

stands out as they look

bright and shiny.The eye contact

With the reader and

facing towards us

has a friendly

approach.

The page number tells the

reader exactly which page

they’ll find the cover line of

the magazine.

The main cover line is

meant to catch people’s

attention but in this case it

is small and unclear.

This lets us know which school

produced the magazine.

The Cover line tells us what

we’ll find in the magazine and

it connects to the Picture on the

cover as it’s the main story.

The cover line however

isn't placed in the right

place where it should be

also because of the

colour of the font

This is the secondMagazine frontcover that Ihave analysed.

The spotlight would suggest that it concentrates specifically on

the their main goal which is school magazine therefore it will

be just about the school/students

The colour of the font is

kept white and the font

itself is kept clear and easy

to read as it stands out from

the dark purple

background.

Also the font would represent the life of

a teenager growing up as the writing isn't

perfect and a bit messy on the edges.

The text and font used for the

magazines strapline is too small

and unclear and the audience is

unable to read it.

The cover lines

Are placed in the

wrong

place as

Its all put together

and makes the

magazine look

Really

unprofessional.

The colour of the fonts is the

same as the masthead this

makes the magazine look neat

and helps it to be easily read.

The date line which is

also unclear and blurry

although its there to inform

The reader of how recent the

magazine is.

The art work of a student

is used.

This gives out a

friendly tone which

welcomes the audienceReally eye-

catchy as there

is a use of

bright colours

The colours

connote

positivity and

brightness

The picture helps express the

talent of the student artist of the

picture which grabs the

attention of the audiences in

this case the other students
