Anaylsis of another college front cover.

Firstly the front cover of this magazine is more lively, more colourful and it is much busier. It stands out and would catch the audiences attention. The title 'college' is in large black font, which makes it really stands out amongst the rest of the colour scheme. The orange font and the pink sub title 'Sporting News' ties in well with the colours of the students uniform. The contrast between the white and the other vibrant colour choices makes everything seem really eye catching, and the green grass in the bottom right hand corner works well because it prevents the coach like figures top blending in with the white background. This magazine front cover is straight forward, and the ideology of the cover is easy to follow. It also has a pacific theme and informs and also entertains their audience more than the previous magazine I annotated. The signifier (photograph) in this picture can be represented positively because it shows at college there is a lot to offer, also it encourages sport. On the other hand it can be represented negatively because it can be seen as being sexist, in comparison to the other magazine, it may have being bland but it would of applied to both sexes.

There is more text and information making the magazine look entertaining but it doesnt look to over crowded.

The photograph denotes sport in college and links with the sub title. It connotes that he has interest in his sport and its important to encourage other students in the college to start a sport. The young man is symbolising an interest in what hes doing, he shows enthusiasm and determination through his stance and body language, but not with just sport alone, we could presume that he shows this much interest in his studies as well. Also this magazine front cover has used more technical codes, it has used more than one photo and has edited the different photos to blend in with each other.

The ideology of this magazine cover illustrates a sports life at college and getting more students involved with sport at college. In comparison to the other magazine cover this front page conveys the ideology and a message much more clearly.

I think this magazine represents different social groups at college because the more extrovert students will take more advantage of this magazine. On the other hand quieter students may benefit from a magazine on a different theme.
