Magazine Cover Analysis


The masthead of the magazine will give the audience a representation of the topics covered in the magazine. The target audience for the magazine is college/university students with a high interest in technology as the magazine is only released exclusively on iPads. The top cover-line again shows us that the audience should have an interest in technology. However the bottom two cover-lines are about sport and healthy eating on a budget connoting that it’s an important factor of college life and shouldn’t be ignored representing the point that the directors of the magazine feel this to be vital to survive at college.

If we move on to the girl we can see that she is holding books giving the connotation of intelligence signifying that education is important in college. She is also smiling which gives college a positive representation as she has connotations of happiness and joy.

The font and background colours are very bold, bright and contrast well with each other and really make the girl stand out. The masthead is bold, white and uppercase, which stands out among the other bright colours and also makes the audience read it slower and thus taking more time to look at the aim of the magazine.
