College magazine analysis

The main image is of a coloured man as this is an American magazine. This image suggests he is happy as he is smiling therefore this is a positive image. His cross necklace portrays that he is religious and has morals because it is a cross. He is wealthy because it looks rather expensive.  The books in his hand give the impression that he is an intelligent and educated young man. The masthead tells us that this magazine is going to be about the life of college. One of the cover lines is ‘Why we love blackberry’; this tells us there will be technology in this magazine which will help students with research and more.  The main cover line brings music into the magazine and gives students ideas of what they can do. Finance is a part of this magazine and it relates to college students because our generation is finding it hard to get jobs. It seems to be telling students how to make some money. Another cover line is a spring break which college students would be able to attend as it will not be in college hours. The cost of the magazine is $4.99 which is affordable for students. The use of bright colours in this magazine will attract teenagers and young adults’ attention.
