1. Research on existing college/university magazines

2. Magazines Its easy to understand that this magazine created for teenagers students, because the masthead says College and at the top of the page written seventeen. Masthead-Is one of the thing that reader going to look at first, because is the title of magazine so people could know what this magazine is about. I like the way how the colours are matched up together, as I see is only four colours of the text exist on this magazine cover. There are yellow, black, pink and white colours. I think these colours really eye catching and professionally presented. The magazine looks more professional when it has bright and clear colours. I like the contrast between the background and the girl. The background is blurred a little bit so that’s makes the text easy readable. Central image-is the main photo of the magazine cover, usually magazine cover and photo on it shows the target audience and you can see is it for male or female. As a student I think that this magazine is for female because of the colours and the girl on the front cover, also its says about fashion, beauty so I don’t think that boys are really interested in that. Buzz word-its encourage people to buy magazine because they think they are able to win big amount of money. Cover lines-it says what is going to be in this magazine, what about you will be able to find out I think that the smaller text shows that is less important articles are. Its also more attracts the readers to pick the magazine where the model is smiling or showing positive emotions. The clothes of the girl for audience says a lot e.g. the colours and the clothes of this girl for me represents warm, sunny days and I think this magazine going to tell about summer fashion, clothes etc.

3. Masthead-its says college so you know straight away that this magazine is for teenagers, and I think that this magazine created for boys because dark colours of magazine and the boy on the cover relates to that for me. Cover lines-again this magazine has smaller and bigger text laid out on the cover, I think is also says importance in this way, because some text are in really big letters and some are in really small letters. I like the colours of the magazine cover and good text designed on the page. As you can see there are three colours used on the coverand the font used same so its makes professional looking. The background is in dark blue colour and the text used light blue, yellow and white so its easy readable because the background is much more darker. This boy is in eye level camera angle which is makes even more eye catching view for target audience. Central image-it’s a boy he is looks serious even he is smiling, I think that is because of his clothes and this necklace on his neck. Bar code-helps you to find out the price of the magazine if it doesn't’t shows.
