Research on college magazines.

College magazine one:


 The overall look of the magazine is simple, the headline 'college' is in a sans-serif font that we all associate with a non-formal aspect. We also insinuate with this type of blocked long letters that the magazine is for school/college because this type of font is used frequently in college magazines. The magazine focus' on the colours blue,red and white. This makes the magazine look structured and neat. The denotation of the girl student is a smiley blonde girl wearing a red and white top with a 'i heart smu' logo top. She is also wearing denim shorts. The connotations of this is that the student is happy within her surrounding's, she also seems healthy and healthy, she also seems comfortable with what she is wearing. The posture of the student suggests friendliness as she is seems like a confident person. All the headlines are focused around school and topics which concern teenagers around that time.



College magazine two:


This magazine is fairly different to the other but different in many ways also. The denotation of the student is a boy wearing a plane black t-shirt with dark wash jeans and a long necklace, he has a smile on his face. The connotation of this is also wealth and happiness, the boy doesn't look angry or uncomfortable in his surroundings. The necklace suggests a wealthy aspect as well as a rebellion symbol. The headlines on this magazine are also topics which concern young adults and the font is also in the same style.
