The masthead of the cover is in
a bolder and more stylish text
to make it stand out from the
rest of the cover.
The sub-heading then notifies
the audience what edition this
magazine is. It is tucked into
the ‘C’ of the main title to
make it look a little artistic,
also it adds to the organisation
of the magazine cover.
The anchorage of the cover is
very organised with most of
the text being shifted to one
side of the page. It organises it
very well and fills in the ‘dead-
space’. It is also separated into
two separate colours to match
the colour scheme, but it also
separates different articles so
its easier for the readers to
depict them.
The main article on the cover is
displayed in a bigger font than
the rest of the articles to
increase its appeal to the
audience more than others.
Exclamation marks are also
added to create excitement.
The image on the magazine
cover is also allocated to the
other side of the cover to make
room for the text to go to fill
the ‘dead-space’ and conform
to the style of a typical
magazine where it is organised
with its image and text and
isn't all over the place.
The colour scheme of the
magazine is only three
colours so the magazine isn’t
too bland but not too busy.
The colours that are used are
red, black and white.
Other parts of the magazine
are of a typical standard for a
magazine with the use of a
price, dates of the magazines
release and a barcode.
A technique that has been
used for this cover is ‘framing’
at the bottom of the cover. It
separates this article from the
rest because it isn’t relevant to
the edition of the magazine
but it does have importance
because it is big news
nonetheless, and some readers
may have an interest in it.
The same font style for the
masthead in the contents page
has been used again, so it
notifies the audience that this
is the logo of the magazine. It’s
tucked away in the corner, like
it was on the cover so it has a
similarity of anchorage. This
time the colour of the logo is
white so it contrasts well with
the black background.
The same three colours (red,
black and white) have been
used again for the organisation
of the magazine.
As part of the anchorage sub-
headings have been used to
separate different sections of
the magazine. I have used
overlapping texts in two
different texts to make it add
a little excitement to the
magazine.
The red block at the bottom
makes it stand out, but it also
increases the excitement for its
readers for the next issue
when they haven’t read this
one yet.
An image has been added of
smiling college students to
uphold the mood of
positivity that Prior college
upholds. Due to a girl being
on the cover, I have used a
picture filled all with boys so
it notifies the audience that
it reaches out to both gender
rather than being allocated
to one.
A letter from the editor of the
magazine has been included in
the contents to break down
the barrier between the
magazine and the audience to
make it much more casual like
the mood of the college is.
I have added a white rectangle
onto the background of the
main cover story section of the
contents to make them stand
out above the rest because
they are the more important
articles in the magazine and
are relevant to the edition of
this magazine issue. A different
colour is also used for the page
number to make them stand
out and are easier for the
audience to find.
