College Magazine Cover 3

Research College Magazine Cover 3

The Masthead for this magazine is "Sporting News COLLEGE" the colour and size really make this stand out ass the yellow outline around the Bold Black font really stands out and gives the tittle purpose and meaning. The tittle "Sporting News COLLEGE is really fit fro purpose as the magazine is all about the news on sport that is revolving within the college.

The Skyline for this magazine is " ROSTERS-STATS-SCHEDULES-BOWL PICKS " this shows some attractions that draw the audience in to read the magazine. The Skyline and Strap line are virtually the same thing so in this magazine the four words across the top of the page would also be the strapline.

The Slogan for this magazine is " See a Different Game" this suggests that the magazine is full of matches and games that are different in a completely different context. This draws the audience in as the audience want to see new,exciting, never before seen action and contents.

The main image for this magazine s the images of the  American footballers (rugby players) this shows that the magazine is about sports and would attract a more sporty audience. The two different images show different angles of the players, maybe even a home uniform and away uniform.it could also represent the difference in size between the players as the player in the back looks more mighty (big and strong) but the player in the foreground looks more tactical and speedy.

There is no Price on this magazine which could indicate that it is a free magazine unless the price is labelled on the back cover.

The anchorage Text would be the "Penn Station" as the points underneath would draw the audience in as it states a short part of what is too come within the magazine. This also makes my first suggestion about the main image to be untrue as it it two dynamic rushers speeding into action, faster than locomotives.
There are only a few sell lines on this magazine one would be the :

"240 FBS & FCS PREVIEWS"

This draws the attention of the audience because the 240 is in a bigger font and is bright orange which stands out against the white background. FBS stands for Football bowl subdivision and FCS stands for Football championship subdivision. Now these are broke down i can now say that the Audience would be either college football supporters or college footballers.
The colour scheme for this magazine would be bright colours such as yellow,orange,white and red.
These colours suggest a bright and happy magazine even though it is a American college football magazine.
The layout of this magazine is well presented and has being fitted together nicely to create a simple but interesting magazine cover.

The masthead 'Ridgewater College' is plain white which is simple and stands out. This would appeal to a more older age group such as parents/carers, or it could also appeal to a more smarter college student, as the bold and simple font makes it look more sophisticated. This makes it appeal to maybe a broader audience. The main image is of a girl sat in a chair, the expression on the girls face suggests that the college is fun and exciting. The girl also looks confident and comfortable, there is also a direct adress as the woman on the cover is looking straight out into the audiences eyes to create purpose. The globe in the corner of the magazine suggests that the college is multicultural or studies geography.

The anchorage text on this cover would be "Global Learning" the words Global Learning suggests that the college has many opportunities for students to study abroad or just study other countries in detail. This shows that the college is ethnically balanced.

There are a few aspects that are not included within the magazine such as; the strapline, Skyline, bar code and a price. There is a slogan on the page but unfortunately it is to blurry to be read.
There are a few sell lines such as the "Inside!" this draws the attention of the audience as it creates a sence of mystery/engima. The Audience would also be interestd in the small corner image which is what looks like to be a man with a baby waulrus. This shows that the college also covers things such as animal safety or the prevention of animal cruelty.
The colour scheme of this magazine seems to be blue, white and a small part of green. Now this suggests a global theme of the world. the blue would symbolise the ocean, peacefull and calm. The white would suggest the ice/polar caps, still but sharp and the green would symbolise the land/greenery.
This magazine cover is quite formal in its organisation/layout. It is spaced out and easier to read which shows that this magazine is for a lower aged audience. The creater of this magazine did not use many graphic effects as there is only one added shape to the magazine.

 The main image in this magazine is an image of Mike Posner. The way in which he is standing suggests a laid back attitude. The first place you look is at his face due to his white teeth and blue eyes standing out. The image has a central position on the magazine which helps the idea of direct address, as the person featured is making direct eye contact with the viewer. Another thing that draws the attention of the viewer is his chain, this draws the attention because its plain and simple like an actual college student.

The Masthead is plain but stands out. The title (COLLEGE) shows that this is a magazine clearly for college students/parents&carers. The colour is fit for purpose as it matches the theme/mood of the magazine cover.The colour scheme for this magazine is blue,white and orange. There is only a small section of white on this magazine. The colour Blue suggests a calm/peaceful environment throughout the magazine this also suggests that the magazine is less likely to be full of violence. The orange colour really stands out against the blue which shows these parts are more important, orange is usually associated with danger/importance.

The sell lines of this magazine really draw the audience in as things such as ;

 "Not exactly extra credit: I slept with my professor" 

   "Career Fair Do's & Dont's"

These sell lines would attract an audience with the age range of 16+. This is because most 16 year olds are either looking for jobs or about to start college. The Line "not exactly extra credit: I slept with my professor" would attract parents/careers due to the fact of they wouldn't be wanting there children going to a college where the professors sleep with their students as it disgraces the college,student and professor. The other line "Career Fair Do's and Dont's" would also attract the audience of college students as the concept of going college is to get a job or go university afterwards.
This magazine cover does not have a Skyline, Slogan or Strapline.

Brief Intro

My name is Jerome Lakin and I'm about to start studying Media Studies at AS Level. I will be undergoing this course at Bramcote 6th Form.

During this course ill be doing a preliminary exercise, of using a DTP (Desktop Publishing) program and also a manipulation program to produce the front and contents pages of a new college magazine. The magazine will feature a photograph of a student in a medium plus some appropriately laid-out text and masthead.

 My main task is to use a DTP program and a image manipulation program to produce the front page, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine.



This is ME!
