Front Cover:
The conventions of a typical college magazine are things
like the masthead, main image, Sell line Colour Scheme, Font and the Headline.
The best mastheads are the ones that stand out the most from the background
because it juxtaposes it there for clashing with the background and standing
o0ut more like black and white does. The main image has to be simple but
effective. For example if there’s to much going on in the background or in the
hole image then it takes the focus away from the information on the cover and
also the point of the magazine. Therefore the simpler the better for example
someone holding books near the ‘Wyke’ sign. The sell line is useful because it
draw people into the magazine because they want to know about something so you
buy the magazine to find out the information. The headline of the magazine is
the what the magazine is mostly going to focus on. For example maybe the school
uniform or changes to the college that people what your views on. The camera
angles used on this magazine is just a straight forward mid shot of a guy
holding some books with a plain background so that all the focus is on him. The
magazines colour scheme is black, white and also yellow. These colours work
well because they are really big opposites of each other which means the clash
making them stand out much more than normal. The company in charge of printing
the magazine is the college itself. What the magazine tells me that going to
this college you are prepared to work hard and do well because he’s holding
some books showing that he’s ready to work and also that he’s smiling about it
shows that he’s enjoying it. You can tell that this magazine is aimed at people
of the ages 15+ the reason for this is because it won’t just be people at the
college wanting to buy it but I may give people an idea of how good the college
is before they join it, but you can tell this because of the language used in
to extremely simple for little children but now to formal like an information
booklet. That way it may influence the younger aged audience to read it.
Content Page:
The conventions of a typical contents page are things such
as a simple lay out, with a min image, what the magazine has to offer and an
insite to the exclusive part in the magazine. There tends to be a background image
or even a image of the main selling point of your magazine that relates to it. In
this magazine they have chosen to separate it out with different text boxes to
spread out the various types of stories within the magazine. For this magazine
the most likely people to have printed this magazine are a big printing firm
where the magazine could get a good deal. What this magazine tells me as soon
as I look at the content page is that its varied all all ages and at all
different types of peoples music trends. I’d say that this magazine would be
aimed at any aged people who can read well and really enjoy there music and
would love to know more about what's going on in the music world.
