Looking at this college magazine cover there are all the convections
of a normal magazine. They have a masthead, cover lines, barcode, a plug and
other convections. This magazine has a colour scheme of yellow, black and white.
The magazine masthead is College Lifestyle and has a yellow colour scheme. I
think they use yellow because it is a similar colour to gold which could
symbolise 1st place. Also the main cover line ‘Dancehall’s Bright
Future’ relates back to this colour too. The word ‘Bright Future’ and the
yellow symbolises that meaning.
The main image is a medium long shot of a college student. In
the shot there are props like the school books. Also he is wearing a cross necklace,
this could symbolises his work ethos to show he is serious about college. Looking
at the magazine we can tell what genre of magazine this is and who they are targeting
their audience at. We can tell that this is a college magazine because one, it says
College style as it masthead. Also use of props and the cover line says that it
is a college magazine. The target audience they are targeting at is college and
university students or those who will benefit reading a college magazine.
The plain black background which matches with his clothes
gives this sophisticated look to the whole magazine. He looks proper and smart.
This magazine cover could be trying to represent the college. The smart
sophisticated look and professionalism could be what the college is trying to
portray itself to the audience. They are trying to attract students to maybe
join their school and get them to buy the magazine.
