Analysis of a College Magazine

This magazine has a different look to the Vouge magazine this is because it has a different target audience and purpose. LIIAR anaylis:

Language: Medium close-up because it is best suited for a magazine front cover, close-up would not include the sporty student clothing and long shot would'nt be able to see the girls face in detail. Very natural unedited image, natural enviroment and casual clothing good representation of a student, happy to be a student, smart engaged fresh looking young person.

Institution: The College

Ideology: Values of this college magazine:  To represent a hard working, dedicated student. They will want thier students to be natural and confident at college and not feel to stressed. To encourage hard work, good behaviour and good grades.


Audience: Students, the College magazine would be handed out around the College to students to give them information about the College, it also gives them information and advice that could be useful to them such as on this magazine includes an interview with a 15 year old who is pregnant which some students may be able to relate to or maybe give students advice on safe sex etc. Also included is an article on drugs and the dangers which could also be useful to students and teach them the real dangers of drugs.

Representation: The girl is dressed in casual clothing and has a natural young, pretty face. She seems confident and happy to be a student. She looks fresh, healthy and not stressed which is a good way of representing the attitudes the College desire for thier students, the girl is a good representation of a student.
