College Magazine Front cover Case study

College Lifestyle Magazine Analysis




Audience for this college magazine would be for a student or even parent audience. This is because students would like to see what is going on in their college by reading the college magazine. However I also feel that a parent would like to read a college magazine to see whether the college has good standards.

The shot taken for this image is medium close up. And the model for this magazine is in the centre of the framing, this brings all the attention to him. Personally, I think that mise-en-scene fits the college magazine since the model is using props such as school books, formal clothing however has a hint of fashion promoting the way a teenager dresses. Bright colours are used to portray the vibrant side of teenagers however black is used to promote the maturity in colleges.

The Largest font (Masthead) is used for the branding of the magazine, in This case the magazine is called College Lifestyle. The main cover line relates to the person on the cover. ‘Dancehall’s Bright Future’. Therefore an anchorage is used since the text gives the image meaning and vice versa. The skyline has additional information for exclusive events. Teasers are used to invite the readers in and to bring attention to certain events taking place.
