campus life magazine analysis

The masthead is light blue and has a simple formal font style this connotes that it’s slightly more grown up and its targeted at mature students and that’s why the front cover uses subtle colours. The colourful masthead shows that this magazine is for students because it’s really eye-catching. The central image is a two shot at mid close up and I think mid close up was used so the audience could see the classy clothing in the picture and this reinforces the idea of maturity coming across through the front cover.

The cover lines in bold blue, red and white. Are placed at the bottom of the magazine. The cover lines take up half of the layout but the faces on the central image aren’t covered in cover lines and this shows their significance. 

In the table of contents the only colours used are black, red and blue and this colours match and compliment each other and this makes the page more bold and it really stands and this technique is used to keep the reader interested.

The table of contents is split up in sections and this makes it look less busy and serious even though it’s in a simple font style.
