College Magazine Analysis
College
magazine analysis
The
mast head is placed at the top, as all mast heads usually are. It is large,
visible and able to been seen by the reader. The image that has been used
conforms to the ‘college’ image. His age is suited to the age of people who
would go to college; therefore it is appealing to the target audience of a
college student. The student in the main image is smiling and happy. This portrays
a happy image of what college students are like. The main image is including
some work books. This also links it to the fact that it is a college magazine,
so is appealing straight away to the target audience of college students. The
cover uses bright, vibrant colours in the mast head, and also in aspects of the
cover lines. This predominant colour suggests formality and that education is
professional and worthwhile. However, the fact that it is a bright colour,
gives the impression that college life is fun and time in life to enjoy. The
eye-catching and visually interesting fonts do this. The dark colour in the
back ground, allows the cover lines and image to stand out. It also looks slick
and stylish, once again making the college life seem in this way.
The
cover lines include articles about fashion, sport and money. All of these
aspects are relevant to college student’s lives. Therefore this magazine is
featuring what would appeal to their target audience on their front cover. This
would draw the reader in as they would know that what they are reading is
relevant to their lives.

We did some audience research, and we found that 55% of the
people we surveyed were female and 45% were male. 95% of these people said that
they did not read the existing college magazine. Likewise, 55% said that they
would like to have a monthly edition of the college magazine published. The
second highest was once a term. Half of the people surveyed said that they
would be prepared to pay for the magazine. 95% of these people said 50p would
be the average price they would be willing to pay. 80%of the people surveyed
said they would be more inclined to buy the magazine if it came with freebies.
The most popular topics to feature in my magazine were
fashion, study tips, music, jobs and food. Therefore, on my front cover, I will
include at least three of these topics. 60% of people surveyed said that they
would like to see people feature on the front cover of the magazine. Moreover,
the colours that were most popular were blue, yellow, red, black, white and
green. I will then decide three of these colours to make my colour scheme for
my magazine.
50% of people surveyed said that they would be interested in
contributing work to the college magazine. Finally, 65% of students asked said
that they would also like an online version of the magazine.
