2. College Magazine Front Cover

• everything inside
advertised on the cover
applies to college
students – would appeal
to target audience
• Bright colours attract
attention
• Use of a college student
as model – readers can
identify

students – not in full time
work
3. College Magazine Front Cover
CONS
• None of the colours or
text match – no house
style
• Photo is not edited very
well

shapes make it look
childish – would not
appeal to target audience
of age 16+
• Looks very
unprofessional
4. Music Magazine Front Cover
PROS
• Graffiti-looking text symbolises
rebellion – appeals to target
audience
• Red colour theme represents
danger and aggression –
associated with metal genre
• Eye-line match makes readers feel
equal – appeals to audience
• Advertisements are linked to
genre – appeals to dedicated fans
• Tone is informal but not colloquial
– friendly but not assuming a
young audience – contrasts with
existing magazines of the same
genre
5. Music Magazine Front Cover
CONS
• Writing on cover is all
black and white – does
not fit with red colour

of student age

childish
