College Magazine Analysis 2

I'm analysing another college magazine using the front of the magazine from King Edward VI College.The main image is of two students laughing together at medium shot looking directly at the camera to engage the audience. The models are of both genders which show that the college doesn't discriminate gender. In the background of the main image is a display of bright colours which catches the readers attention whilst not taking the attention away from the models.

The masthead, 'King Ed's' is in a bold green and pink and this would be used as a logo to be displayed on each issue. This makes it easy to recognise for regular readers or if the magazine is displayed with others. In the title there is a dateline down the inside one of the letters to let the reader see how recent the issue is and it is displayed clearly. There is also the selling line 'The New Edwardian Magazine' The word 'Magazine' is in pink to correspond with the pink in the title and the rest is in a white font to stand out against the main image behind it.

The main cover line is quite small but still bigger then the other cover lines. It's in a white font to stand out and to match the colour of the selling line. The main cover line advertises that the magazine has an interview with a film director which will attract an audience of film students and anyone interested in the directors work. This also advertises the college as high profile as it can have interviews with film directors. The other cover lines are much smaller and hard to read at first. There in a black and blue font which is used nowhere else on the splash and doesn't match anything. The cover lines mention sport to show the college is active and also has the cover line 'Celebrating Diversity' which promotes acceptance of all people and that anyone can come to the college to learn, and that the students share this ideology.
Unlike the other magazine cover this one focuses more on extra-curricular activities and appeals more to the students interests rather than the interlectual side of college life.
