3 Magazine LIIAR's

East Riding College Magazine LIIAR:

The front page of the magazine is very bland and only uses the colours black and white aside from the main image. The main image isn’t very eye-catching, the people in It are facing away from the camera and they’re stood in the snow, this doesn’t give much away about the college or what it is like. The masthead is very plain and so is the rest of the text. There are no thumbnails of other pictures to help illustrate any of the stories that are inside, the college logo and details are present on the bottom of the front cover. I don’t think that it represents the college very well or would attract attention from students. The contents page also has green in the colour scheme now as well as black and white; this makes it a bit more vibrant but not much. This page has picture thumbnails but none of them are captioned to you don’t know which story they link to, the features are listed on the left hand side of the page in a plain and simple way. I don’t think this magazine really reaches out to its target audience as it makes the college look very dull and boring. It doesn’t represent the college or it’s students either.

Grimsby Institute College Magazine LIIAR:

The front page of this magazine follows a simple house-style of blue, grey and white and is quite eye catching. The main image is 2 cartoon like students, the colours of the cartoons blend in with the background and doesn’t make the image ‘pop’. The college logo is present on the front page along with picture thumbnails and text showing features inside the magazine. The masthead is large and recognisable to the college. The contents page is quite crowded and messy. The list of features is on the right hand side of the page and each piece of text follows the colour scheme; black, red, blue, green. The left hand side of the contents page has adverts to do with the college on it. I believe this magazine represents the college quite well and would attract its correct target audience.

Lewisham College Magazine LIIAR:

The front cover of this magazine suggests that this is an arts college; the main image is of a student in dance wear in some form of dance move. The house-style behind the image is black and white and isn’t very eye-catching. Although I do think the main image represents students as if it is an arts college then it will be what a lot of students take or do as a hobby. The text on the front pages tells us about some of the features inside of the magazine but it has no picture thumbnails to illustrate the points. The logo of the college is at the bottom right of the front page but is only small. The contents page is quite plain with the features on the right hand side and an article about the winner of a competition of the left hand side of the page. This page only uses the colours white, black and pink and isn’t very eye-catching or appealing to students.
