College Magazine;

I found this image of a college magazine on google images.

The colour scheme is very important to this magazine cover as the background is black so they will have needed to get bright bold colours that stood out. The masterhead on this image stands out really well because it is a bright colour and is in a large bold font. With the other writing been in white and yellow they stand out as the main image has a lot of black on it so the colours stand out really well.

The main image is a medium close up which shows good detail on what the model is wearing and if you look at it closely you can read what is on the books. The image shows alot of detail on the models clothes and especially non his face. This image is important because it shows that the model is happy and it looks like he is having a good time at college. The image also shows that college students can wear what they want which may appeal to people who want to ditch the school uniforms.

The barcode stands out well on this background aswell as it is white against a black background and it is in the bottom left hand corner. This is a good place to put the barcode because if the magazines are stacked on the shelf the barcode will be showing which usually has the price either above it or down the side.

The sub-headings on the magazine are in bright bold colours which will also stand out and they are the same colour as the masterhead which shows a consistent colour scheme throughout the front page of the magazine. Some of the sub-headings are in white which goes with the background of the magazine as it is in black.

The font on this magazine is bright and bold. This is so that the text will stand out from the background. The bold font stands out and catches the readers/buyers attention.
