College magazine deconstruction

For the front cover, I decided to have what appears to be 2 people talking about work outside of the college, this is because it ties in directly with the target audience and makes it extremely relate-able. This also suggests that this magazine could be fairly serious as the models are seen acting in a serious manor.

The colours of the text and logo here are yellow and white, with black and red text. The red connotes danger and power, while the black connotes death and impurity. The white signifies purity and directly juxtaposes the black, while yellow signifies happiness and warmth, juxtaposing the red.
The logo is also reminiscent of the college the magazine will be sold in (East Norfolk) as the magazines logo is a variant on the colleges logo.
The price of the magazine is £2, this is fairly cheap for a magazine and will allow a large amount of students to buy it, as they tend to have low earning income and can not afford a more expensive magazine.

The cover lines seen on the page are all based around college life or something teens would be interested in, for example the new Iphone 6 (also in bold - to attract the attention of the reader) and having segments such as 'Top 10 essential tips for revision', helping the magazine attract the teen target audience and establish a relationship with the reader.

The contents page is fairly bland, as it is used mainly to move the reader on. It features to boxes (yellow gold like colour) with the article titles and page numbers in, the logo also appears again in the top left - suggesting that will be part of the brand identity. The title 'Contents' it clearly displayed and quick to read.

The topics seen here are all related to the cover, with the inclusion of the competition. This quickly shows where each article can be found and helps the reader along.
The use of gold for the boxes makes the page seem ordered and helps separate the 2 sections. The use of white writing helps suggest the purity and honesty along with the gold boxes. The only black text is the title, helping the other parts of the text stand out more.
