College magazine front cover 2

The colour scheme for this particular colour scheme doesn’t seem to be that eye catching, the dominant colour is a light blue and the majority of the text is orange and a darker blue; and is spaced out in random areas. But the girl they have put on the front cover is looking directly at the camera (reader) with a smile on her face suggest that she enjoys the college, therefore making it a much better place to be; the fact that it is sunny would also suggest that the college will be bright too and everyone there is bright and will achieve whatever they want. It would seem that the magazine is more directed at girls as it is showing off popular culture among teen girls “GLEE” and “VAMPIRE DIARIES”. Simply having them could be enough to entice some of the readers in as they would want to read about something they enjoy.

The masthead is large and yellow and is very dominant in the top of the front cover and makes it visibly clear that this is a college magazine. The fact that the colours seem to be soft further proves the point that this magazine is aimed more at girls in college. It is simple but effective; although the scheme does look rather mundane it achieves in catching the audience’s attention by showing the girl being brightly lit by the sun and further more with the small texts at the side which would want the audience to have a look inside.
