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.
