COLLEGE MAGAZINE ANNOTATION AND LIIAR ANALYSIS

Language – The model in the photograph is making contact with the reader as he is looking directly into the camera, this is so that the reader feels more connected with the model and making them feels more involved with that student lifestyle and also the magazine. The model is also stood in a relaxed standing position at a mid length shot, this could give the reader the impression that the college is also relaxed. The repetitive font used on the front cover is sans serif. The masthead ‘College’ is in sans serif, this means that the font is bold and large, the title is also in the colour yellow. The majority of the storylines and subtitles are placed on the third left and the third right, this is because when you pick up a magazine in the shop you either pick it up from the right or  from the left.  The smaller features which are placed on the front cover, give the reader a sneaky insight of what goes on within the college, this makes the reader want to read more about the college.
