Deconstructions of Two College Magazines


The masthead is in large, bold letters and the yellow text stands out on the black background and draws the readers in and makes them read it first. The subject on the front page is a young man and he symbolises a student, he also holds textbooks in his hand and the audience can relate to him, the dark background keeps the attention of the audience on him. The pink splat on the page is eye catching and draws the attention of the reader in. Different colour cell lines also stand out from the black background. The subject has the light behind him and it highlights his body making him look more important. This is the same with the size of the text as the most important parts are larger than the others, such as the barcode and the issue number. This looks like a magazine for the student who cares about lifestyle and fashion.

The text is also large and bold, the girl is wearing a red shirt and the masthead is also bright red, it is a dominant colour and stands out well on the page. The girl is young and symbolises a student just like the man on the previous cover, it is a mid shot and the background behind her is blurry and this makes her stand out more and she is most of what the audience can see on the picture. The colour scheme is red, blue and black and it closely resembles what she is wearing, this makes the cover look more co ordinated. The cell lines include some interesting stories and that will draw the audience in and will make them want to read the articles.
