Magazine Analyses 2

The masthead 'studentz own' features at the top of the magazine, straight accross. There is a barcode placed at the bottom right hand corner but features no price tag. The date and issue number are placed above the barcode also in the bottom right hand corner. The main feature headline is 'First Edition' this is because it is the first headline you read it is placed on the top right hand side of the magazine cover. The first subtitle is 'Dress For Success' on the left hand side of the magazine cover. The image on the magazine is a medium close up of a college girl. This is the main image you focus on because it is big and also the only image that feautures on the magazine cover. It is a medium close up so you can see the type of clothes she is wearing, what she is carrying, her body language and facial expression. The font on the magazine cover is sans serif to fit the style of the magazine of it been a fun,young magazine. The colours on this magazine are very basic, the background is just a plain blue colour and not an image relating to the front image. The text colours are white and different shades of the blue.  The colours used aren't very a good choice for a magazine front cover. There is no graphics on this magazine cover. The skyline of the magazine is placed on the top of the magazine cover below the title, on this case it is the colleges website. The kicker is on the right hand side of the magazine 'more inside' speaking of a subject which features in the magazine.
