Analysing a College Magazine

From analysing one of my previous school college magazine, there are certain features that can be identified which help to promote this cover to its audience. By analysing this college magazine i will be able to get a better insight as to what my college magazine should include.

A feature that stand out to me is the tile of the school at the top of the page 'The Cardinal bulletin'. It has the effect of snow on the letters and the house style of the page is red and white. From looking at these semiotics, these features revealed to the reader gives us the connotation that this college magazine has a link to a relevant topic of christmas. The semeiotics also tells the reader that the school is a catholic and religious school.

The text on the left side of the page states that its the 'Heads Message'. This tells us that the headmaster of the school take a very active role within the schools curricular activities. The images of the students of the page also portrays and conveys how the students take pride and enrich themselves into the extra curricular activities within the school. 

If I was to present this college magazine cover to an audience i would consider putting less amount of text on the page and put one main image on the page. I would also consider putting a larger and more eye-cathing headline on my page.  This will help make the page more appealing and more professional to the readers to look at and will make it more eye-catching for the readers.
