LIIAR analysis of a college magazine

This College magazine front cover. It is a very simple image but creates a positive effect of the college.
The masthead on this text really stands out as it is bold and a large font. this makes the text stand out more and then our attention is drawn straight towards this and therefore tells us what the magazine is about. The front cover of this magazine contains a main picture of the college grounds, this pictures portrays the image of a very wealthy college as there is a wealthy building, we see this as the building has pillars and very intricate detail. The front cover contains a basic colour scheme of greens, which represents a calm, formal setting. The front cover also includes a small amount of information which then encourages the reader to read more into the magazine. This front cover is very organised and set out in a simple manner, this is too make the page look effective yet simple and attract more attention as its easier to understand and read.

The institutions of this magazine is colleges, it shows a typical higher class college and tells us the main things which are happening there. The audience of this magazine would be people aged 16-19 or college teachers, tutors or anyone who is involved with a college or is interested in college life and colleges in general. The magazine is aimed at both genders as it hasnt got any specific colours or images to show us that it is aimed at one gender. This is effective as it is based on more open minded and no stereotyping issue's or spliting up genders and therefore portraying the fact that both genders, male and female are equal in everyday life and more importantly, college life and education. The text shows possitive connotations of college, is shows a creative side of college and a possitive image of college.
