This magazinbe is the Ludlow College student magazine, which I found in the student services area in college. It is written by the school council and it costs 60p to purchase. The masthead is very large and covers about a quarter of the front cover, this makes it really stand out, especially as the font used is very unusual. The background uses very bright colours of reds oranges and yellows, this gives the magazine a sense of vibrance and life, similar to the age group at which it is written for.
The coverlines used are in black and white so they stand out clearly from the background, these give you information about what is in the magazine and they try to tempt you to buy it. There are many pictures used on the front of past students, all enjoying themselves while they are busy at work. The pictures are scattered randomly around the page so they magazine doesn't look to formal, a contrast here with the previous magazine I analysed: "Smart talent".
Finally, there is a strapline at the bottom of the magazine which shows more about what else is inside it, however is not in a box or in bold writing so it is alittle difficult to read; it has a good effect though as it adds to the theme of college life that the front cover is trying to put across. The name of the magazine is "Student ID" and this is an effective tittle, in my opinion, because many college students either have their own Id, or fake ID or want some ID, it is a very "hot" topic in colleges.

Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteGood posts so far, you might just want to go back and edit them as there are a couple of minor mistakes. Like Kath, what you need to do now is scan the front covers you have analysed so that the reader can see what you're writing about.
