Textual analysis of "Smart Talent"

This magazine I am analysing I fond in the student services are in college. It costs £2.25 to buy, and it is a career magazine especially published for black and minority ethnic students. The coverlines on the front cover of this magazine are mostly about careers and advice, however there is a headline: the largest coverline, which is anchored to the picture ob the cover.

The picture used is a mid-shot of Miquita and shi is blowing a bubble, the headline reads: " Miquita goes pop." there is a pun used there as she is blowing a bubble, but also because she now wworks for "Pop". The colours used are very plain, white and pink, co they do not distract you from the picture, which is the main attraction of the magazine, as it is very large and in the centre of the page.

The masthead: "Smart Talent" suggests that what youy are going to read is going to be intelligent writing, but also it may be staing that people can be smart and successful at the same time, like Miquita. As well as this, it could also suggest that if you read this magazine you too will be smart and talented. Finally, there is a strapline used at the bottom of the cover which gives information on who published the magazine, this gives it a sense of formality and professionalism.
