college magazine analysis

The name of this magazine is “college lifestyle” therefore it is clear who the audience aimed at is. In the photo present on the front of the magazine there is a young male holding several books against a dark background. The male himself looks around a students ages and the fact he is carrying books in plies he is a student. This magazine has used 3 different colours when it has come to the text present on the front cover. The main colour used is yellow, I think they have done this as yellow is a bright eye catching colour therefore catching the attention of the targeted audience. The other colours present on the cover are white and grey I think they have done this so the yellow stands out more making the magazine more eye catching also because the colours all interlink. One of the books the student is carrying relates to law and the rules of society this clearly links to the student being well educated and respected. The clothes the young man is wearing also links well to the target audience and at the same time gives the impression the student is once again respected and well educated with a bright future ahead of him. The young boy is also wearing a cross this could symbolise his religion or link with the upcoming fashion. On the right hand side of the magazine there is a pink blob with some information in it, I think they have done this to allow the information to stand out and to indicate that the certain piece of information is more important than the rest. The bright colour also grabs the reader’s attention and brings a burst of colour to the magazine. The magazine consists of about 3 different texts I believe they have done this to grab the audience’s attention but at the same time deliver a well present, modern magazine. The words “bright future” are in the same text colour and boldness as the name of the magazine I think they have done this to inspire they’re readers but at the same time imply what their target audience is.
