School magazine analysis

Here we have the St.Angela's School magazine, The first thing we notice about the magazine is it's front cover as it stands out with it's bright colour theme of orange and yellow and white. In a way this is a bad idea because even though these colours are very appealing, smacking them against a dull background kinda undermines the whole image. Another obvious feature is the big, bold masthead "Angels" which is appropriate since it relates to the schools's original name "St.Angela's". Something that works well with the image is the headline "Survival guide for GCSE Technology" because of it's reference to the student on the front cover who is holding Technology equipment and it wearing a Technology apron which shows that the thing that the magazine is trying to represent is accurate. Further more, the sell lines are more approachable to the audience of secondary school students by adding in entertainment "Towie, Bieber, Lil Twist" bringing up the latest trends of the year 2011 along with the banner exclaiming winning of "topshop vouchers, albums" etc, yet again bringing entertainment and involving the aim of teenagers who like fashion and music. Overall the front cover signifies that the content of the magazine will involve information and entertainment for the target audience which is for 11-15 years.
