24 Hour Magazine

This magazine would perhaps appeal to photography students.

The masthead is done in an arty fashion because the readers are going to be fairly creative.

The masthead and part of the main image are on the left third so the readers would be able to see it on the shelf and know that they want to read it.

The white colour is used as a house style throughout the magazine, it helps the images to stand out from the rest of the page.

The image is not a typical medium close up of a person, but instead the picture is of a camera, this easily suggests to the reader that this magazine is for photographers.

Defiance College Magazine

This magazine would be mainly for P.E students, but the college itself could be very sports related.

The Masthead is fairly plain, but the purple contributes to the house style throughout the magazine, (but is mainly used as the colour of the titles.) But the font is in bold, which could suggest that this magazine is a bit more bold or interesting for students or especially students who study P.E.

The cover lines show an article about the students which could be one of the main features.

Although there isn’t a lot of text on it, there is a left third. This shows part of the Masthead, the date, a main feature and part of the cover lines. Just like the last magazine, the reader would be able to see this part of the magazine on the shelf and know what it is.

The image also does not use a medium-close up, but instead it uses a long shot of a court. This looks as if it has been drawn, which could interest art students as well.

College Crowd Magazine

This magazine is for any students, from the front cover the reader can tell that it is targeted at both female and male readers. The features involve both fashion and sport. For example, there is one article about ‘5 cool gadgets’ and another article called ‘Is he using you?’.

Again the purple is used as a house style, especially on the front cover and contents page, this colour could attract more female students than males. The Masthead is a typical font used for American Colleges/University’s, which also shows that this magazine is meant for the entire college.

This image does have a medium-close up of two people. The readers can identify with the people in the photo because they are likely to be the same age. The female model is wearing purple which helps the female readers to identify with her and this magazine because it is the same colour as the house style.

This magazine clearly has a left third which has the same purpose as the other two magazines.
