Looking at a College Magazine

I will be designing my own college magazine later in this blog and will be looking at other college magazines for reference.


From the front cover of this magazine I can see there is a student. He looks happy and 'clean' or smart due to what he wears; for example, his shirt is tucked in. The student is also holding a couple revision books which links to the magazine as it's about studying.
There is a white, black and yellow colour scheme used in this magazine. I can see that the masthead and cover line headings are in yellow which could convey that the text in yellow is important. The white colour is used for cover lines and to elaborate on the headings. Lastly, the black colour is used for the image background and it is also the main colour that the cover star is wearing.
