Research And Planning: College Magazine Analysis 02

This is another analysis of a college magazine which I am analysing. The magazine has conventions which I think are important to have in a college magazine. 

Firstly the masthead is really bold and although it is behind the main picture, it still grabs the readers attention and it is still clear to read. The magazine is also really effective because there the cover lines are bold and clear to see. These cover lines are also something that catches your eye straight away and due to this it makes the magazine more effective. 

There is also a large main picture, this is important because this is what makes the reader most interested and this particular magazine gives the target audience away rather easily. The main picture is something that can distinguish between the magazine genres. 

There is also a clear barcode here and this is so then it can be scanned but this also gives a professional look to it and it is easy to spot too.

We can see that there is also a date for the magazine and this is an important thing that the magazine should have because this tells the difference between the old magazines and the new ones. 

You can tell this is a college magazine because of all these factors and more. The positioning of the college student also gives it away and the fact that he has books in his possession implies that he is a college student.
