Research on College Magazines

This has all the ingredients of a magazine. Firstly, the masthead 'back to school' tells the reader what the magazine is all about. The main image of the girl is meant to show a typical girl on her first day back at school. This shows that the girl is eager to get to school because she is smiling. In the bottom left corner, it shows that it is the 2009 edition but this isn't really important. This magazine uses lots of cover lines in lots of colours to stand out.

This also has most of the ingredients of a magazine. The masthead is simply the name of the college and is prsented in a posh font. The main image of the fountain signifies peace which could also be a sign of the college. This advert uses only one main coverline 'A Grand Entrance' which represents the image. This will probably be the first thing you see as you enter this college. Instead of coverlines all over the front cover, they are shown at the bottom as if they aren't as important as the main cover line. However, I don't think that this is the best example of a college magazine as it doesn't seem to be targeted at students due to the image.
