front cover and contetns page (college)

 
 College magazine: front cover

The image at I have used, is mid shot of a student in college. This would suggest the target audience would be around the age of people starting college or in.
The image is  of a smart dressed student, which targets the audience by the style, positioning  and colours used.
By using a darker image against a clear coloured background, allow it to fit the target audience. By this , it shows that the target audience is young, with the use of the clear colours turns the magazine to be more attractive to the this type of audience.

The sell lines shows who the target audience is by the use of language. There is a type of language for each different social group.
The way the sell lines are down both side of the magazine, could show that this layout is targeted for a type of audience, such as  students being to start or in the next year of.
Also by the type of font used on the magazine can show the target audience. If it’s ‘times new Roman’ the audience would be older.
College magazine: contents page

By the use of images would show what the target audience, by using students in the images, shows this college magazine is for students starting college or in college. 
By the use of colours would show who the target audience, by the background being white allows the text to stand out, is attractive to the audience and allow the text to be more able to read.

The title of the magazine is partially covered, but doesn’t  put the reader off. The recognasible colours and front in itself is a clear logo to the magazine. This suggests that the title doesn’t  have to be completely clear in order for the aduince to familarise themselves to it.

The front cover has maintained a recognisable colour scheme to the magazine. In using colours such as yellow, white and brown, allows the audience to familiarise themselves to the magazine. This type of magazine would be more for the female side of the audience. Overall the colour doesn’t really stand out again each other, due to the colours being less bright than other college magazines.
The title of the magazine is in white allowing it to stand out more against the yellow background, though it’s partially coved by the image, you can still see the title. This suggests that the title doesn’t have to be completely clear for the reader to see it through the rest of the magazines.
The image is a middle shot and the positioning would suggest the importance of the magazine. Allowing the cover to flow well and giving the audience information of the contents. One thing that is recognisable to the magazine would be how the image is edited to fit in the front cover. The image is linked to the colour scheme.
The sell lines are mainly on the right and left hand sides. This allows the image to be clear with no text over the top. The sell lines are important to the magazine because it allows some information of the contents but no giving the article way, making the reader want to read the magazine. The bar code is in the bottom right corner. This allows the audience/ readers to see the price, date of release and the number of the issue.
