L.I.I.A.R Analysis and evaluation of my final magazine cover


The language used it one that is understandable for students of the college and includes things they can relate to. Words like 'exclusive' and 'free' make the magazine appealing and entice you into purchasing it. You feel as if you're getting more for your money and it fights off other competitive magazines. The ideology of the magazine is that it's a fun, happy and multi-cultural one, this is done through the use of image which shows two smiling girls of different ethnicity's. However the idea that it's a place where you can enjoy yourself is also linked to the idea of working hard, the books and folders shown in the picture connote this. Both encapsulated together make it a hard working content college, with a bright working environment. The blazing background behind her shows she has a 'bright future ahead of her' and also connotes she's feeling happy. The institution is the students of the college, this is illustrated through the skyline, reading ''your exclusive look into what's going on in Wyke College'', which the customer of course perceives that someone from the college created the magazine. The audience is apparent from various things on the front cover of the magazine. The first one is the youthful girls in the picture inside college grounds, this exhibits they're from the college and straight away sets a clear target audience of who should be buying this magazine. Secondly the articles featured are those of which would only appeal to youths who attend college such as ''getting the most from your NUS Card''. A stereotypical feature of a student is that they need cheap prices, therefore the magazine is priced at just £1.99 which is situated above the bar code (necessary for a magazine). The college is represented as being a brilliant college and a lovely place to be, through use of bright images and attractive articles.
The colour scheme of the college is a dark purple and white, therefore the colour scheme on the magazine are these colours, it links the two together. The writing 'knowledge' is in a serif writing to make it look sophisticated and intelligent which ties in with the idea of a hard working college.
