Research and Planning - College Magazine Analysis

I can tell this is a college magazine firstly because the masthead of the magazine itself is "college",which indicates that it is about college and what life is like in college,but also about things outside of college which students can relate to.The main image used you can also tell is a student because of the books he is carrying,as it convey how he is a studious person,also the cover lines at the front of the magazine portray how it is a college magazine,as it mentions things which will appeal to students such as "Thank God It's Friday",something which students can relate to and want to read about.It also mentions things not only college related but more related to the student such as "why we love blackberry".The magazine has been aimed to make the students be able to relate to the magazine not only educationally, but also in terms of what students like and are interested in.The publication line will also appeal to students - "you're exclusive guide to everything hip,hot and happening", as it is simple and also rather catchy, so it will be something which the readers will be able to remember.Furthermore it will also appeal to the readers as it isn't got to do with anything college related such as, subjects,exams etc.. But more about the enjoyment of college life and what to expect when you're there,indicated by the word "happening". The colours also used would also appeal to students both female and male as the colour green isn't too feminine,or too masculine.This magazine would be aimed at students 18 and over, suggested by the main picture of the man, as he doesn't look very young but at the same time not too old.
