Research And Planning - Magazine Analysis

This is an example of a college magazine. You can tell it is a college magazine as it has subtle, mature colours for the text. The image its self has a picture of a globe, which shows us it is clearly based on education. The masthead is in a different font to the rest of the text and is also large, which makes the name stand out, so the reader can be sure of the type of magazine that this is. All of the cover lines are suited to those who attend college; the articles the magazine contains are very mature, but are still fitting for an average college attendant. The main picture shows a young woman who attends the college who is clearly very happy, but also looks quite well educated. This is a representation of people who are at the college,showing what type of magazine it is. There is no barcode or pricing on the magazine, this shows that it is very likely to be a college magazine, as these are usually free and only sold in the college its self, so neither of these things are necessary. This magazine also doesn't have a publication line, just the date it was released. This again, shows us the magazine lacks professionalism, and it is a 'laid back' type of text.
