LIIAR analysis of second college Magazine

Language-I think the language of this magazine is a lot better than the first one, there is also a lot more information especially on the contents page. Unlike the first magazine this one doesnt have a lot of pointless texts on the frontcover. The title of the magazine stands out a lot, and is eye-catching. The headings and fonts are eye-catching too, which helps the cover all fit together and not look messy.


Institution-The grimsby institute magazine, is very noticably for the whole college, and doesnt just focus on one aspect.

Ideology-I think this magazine looks quite proffesional, the layout has been carefully thought out and looks as if they spent a reasonable amount of time on it. The front cover stands out a lot anyway because of the fact that its an animation, and not many magazines have a front cover like that, but it also stands out because of the colours, which are blue, grey and white, they work well together. Unfortunatly a colour scheme hasnt been kept throughout the whole magazine so it doesnt give it much structure as a magazine as a whole. What i like about the contents page is the fact that they have kept the whole point of the readers being students in mind, it looks like any other teenage magazine and not boring. They've also included some advertisements which are aimed at students and include pictures of students so it looks appealing.

Audience-I think the creators of the magazine have definitley succeeded in meeting their target audience of college students. I looks very different from any other magazine so people are most likely to notice it and want to read it. It's also not just focused on a certain part of the college, it focusses on the college as a whole, like the first college magazine i analyzed. But unlike the other magazine you can easily tell that magazine will focus on the WHOLE college just by looking at the front cover because it doesnt highlight a particular thing.

Repesentation-I think the representation of the magazine is very organised. It's thoughtfully set to stand out, and has the right colours to do so. The only thing i dont really like about the front cover and think is irrelavant is the image of the girl in the bottom right hand corner of the page. It looks sort of pointless and out of place. It just doesnt look very good putting an animated photo with a normal photo.
