Magazine Analysis #3

On the front page I included a WordArt image, "Want to know Wyke?". This entices the reader into questioning their knowledge and suggests that the magazine can help them.

I also included a price of 50p, bar code and website address-www.collegemag.co.uk. This was used for added effect and realism.

I used photoshop to edit the image and cropped it.

I used a coloured background to make it stand out and more appealing to a younger audience. The whole page was colourful to indicate straight away that the magazine will have a light-hearted approach and not wholly serious.

I have used many rhetorical questions in my magazine front cover. "Want to Know Wyke?" "What's happening at Wyke?" and "Job Hunting?" are examples of rhetorical questions. This has been done to include the reader.

I included a Byline- "EVENTS, SPORTS, CLUBS, ENRICHMENT'S, LATEST INFO." This informs the reader and tells them what is inside the issue.

I also included plugs to add realism to the magazine and information. I separated the plugs with bullet points as I have seen this in magazines before and found it adds to the effect.

The Masthead "What's Happening At Wyke?" is large and in coloured font to make it stand out.

To summarise, the magazine front cover of "What's Happening At Wyke?" aims at targeting college students and in my opinion, was successful.
