Preliminary Task - Analysis of College Magazine 2

Sky Line: Bright orange colour contrasting with the masthead making it stand out more to the reader’s eye when looking at a newsstand.

Masthead: Bright yellow, in a font that you would see on a back of a football top, so keeping in the theme of college sports. Not taking up a whole third on the magazine front page – but still big enough to stand out to the readers eye on a newsstand.

Buzz Word: “PLUS” and “RECRUITING” encourage readers to by, because they believe they are getting extra and they will find out how they can get recruited.

 

Cover Lines: Main cover line in bigger shadowed text making it stand out more. All cover lines are to do with well known up and coming sportsmen.

Graphics: This magazine is obviously targeted to men, probably from 16 – 25 years old. The reader can tell this because of the colour scheme. It is a very sport magazine; its colour scheme matches the Lucozade Sports drink colour scheme.
