College Magazine analysis

We chose 3 different college magazines

Each magazine had similar features, they all had 'Puffs' which highlight the success of the magazine. Another similar feature is they all have a Masthead in bold clear fonts, each magazine also shows the issue number, date and price with bar codes. All have cover lines with some 'Reversed out' cover lines too.
I would prefer to read the College Lifestyle Magazine. It graps the audiences attention and the cover lines seem to relate to the average student lifestyle.
The magazine i have chosen is 'College lifestyle' Magazine. The kind of person who would read would be Aspirers and Post Modernists and the age range would be around 17-25 years old.
The main sell is a picture of a student who is carrying books showing some of the most academic subjects, the student is smiling and the picture has been lightened. The Cover line colours are bright and a fresh green, this gives the magazine a positive meaning. The language is very modern, young and grammatical correct.
