College Magazine Analysis

Analysis:

This is a college magazine and the main image shows a happy young man, of the correct age carrying a ‘Law, Business  and Society’ book, suggesting that this man is intelligent promoting that if you attend college you can become intelligent and learn about a wide range of subjects, you gain a good education.  Seeing the man smile and look relaxed and happy is the college promoting itself and saying that you will become like him. Around his neck he wears a religious cross which leads me to believe he could be a church attender and that he has good moral, also the clothes he wears are quite smart and it looks like this young man has wealth, it is a very positive outlook for this young black man, considering all of the slander that young black men get. 

The masthead for this magazine simply says ‘COLLEGE’ showing that this magazine is aimed at the young college audience. The colours of the magazine are bright yellows, white, pink and black, which gives the magazine a smart and professional look, also most of the colours are quite happy colours, like the yellow, giving the magazine a positive feel.

The cover lines on this magazine are about; music, sport, technology, fashion and finance, which are supposedly all the things that a college student are interested in. Showing that this magazine has thought about what their target audience are interested in. 

Overall, this magazine has a positive outlook for their college and student life, as this man is happy and has an intelligent influence with the books and he is smiling giving a positive feel.
