This is a magazine called 'College'.

This type of magazine is aimed at college people and people who may be going up to college within the next year, and their parents. This person has used a various amount of sizes in the fonts and has laid them out in a way to attract the audience more. They have only used 3 main colours so it doesn't make it look too colourful and messy yet it makes the cover look presentable towards the target audience. The masthead is simple and they have used a simple font which is easy to read. It is also big and bold which stands out against the rest of the magazine indicating that it is the name of the magazine. The colour of the masthead is a light blue against a dark back ground which makes it stand out so it will catch the audiences eye. On this cover page it lacks a skyline. They have used a slogan but the font is so small it is barely readable. The price is set at the bottom of the cover page along with the bar code. The price is in a small font showing that the magazine is not that cheap whereas if it were cheaper the font would be bigger to catch people's attention. The sell lines are placed down the sides and are in different font sizes for a better effect. There are a range of topics which are the bigger stories on the cover making you want to buy the magazine and read that article. The colours of the cover page have been chosen to complement to main picture. This brings me to the main picture, the main picture is of a guy, palms together by his waist smiling toward the audience. He is looking right at the audience. By doing this, he is trying to grab the audiences attention and pull the readers in. The representation of the main guy is that he is clearly a college student and is looking happy, clean and smart. This magazine also lacks Anchorage text because the sell lines are not very clear to which story the guy is related to.

This another type of a 'college' magazine. This one is called 'college lifestyle'.

This magazine is also aimed at college people and people who maybe coming up to college along with their parents. The masthead is in big bold letters and is in a bright orange colour which stands out against the white background which automatically takes your eye towards it. The size of the masthead is appropriate to the size of the cover. The masthead is also being covered with his head showing that the magazine company is confident that people know what the magazine is and it is also important towards the target audience. The choice of the title is perfect for what the magazine's target audience is. There is a small skyline running across the page but too small for me to be able for me to read. With this small skyline there may be a chance that something interesting catches the audiences eye which then sells the magazine to them. There is also a small slogan just under the title but also too small for me to read. There is no Anchorage text so the audience do not know what the main guy stood in the middle of the magazine is for and what he has to do with any of the stories in the sell lines. The sell lines are set down both sides of the magazine with interesting stories that are inside of the magazine which may catch the audiences eye making them want to buy it. The price is in a small text at the bottom of the cover indicating that it is a high price whereas if it was a lower price the text would be a lot bigger. The bar code is set at the bottom along with the price. The colour scheme is simple but affective with the main colours being orange and white. They have used a various amount fonts and sizes which gives the whole magazine a better effect towards the target audience. The main image is a guy wearing a white suit looking very sophisticated and looking like he blends in with the background. He is looking a little happy and pleased, very clean and also looking very smart. He looks very professional more like a teacher than a student. None of the stories in the sell lines are linking towards the person in the main picture. The guy is making direct eye contact with the target audience drawing the audience closer.
