College magazine cover analysis

This

 college magazine is targeted towards college student, it has a bold header telling you the name of the magazine which is slightly covered by the image, this shows that the magazine is well known and can be easily identified even though it is slightly obscured.

The cover has lots of information of the cover telling you what is inside the magazine and also includes a brightly coloured splat image that stands out from the rest of the cover which tells you something extra important .

The layout is very simple with the mid shot image in the middle the text of the magazine name along the top and then the information around the edges. The colour scheme is also very simple with the black white and green, but then the addition splat of pink gives it a pop of something eye catching.

As always the magazine has the barcode, the price and the issue number on the cover. These are always needed for different purposes. The guy on the front portrays an image of happy and wellbeing with his positive body language and the way he is holding his books.
