Cornwall Life magazine analysis

1. Regional Magazine

2. Cornwall Life
magazine uses the
regional identity of
its location to
appeal not only to
residents of
Cornwall, but to a
wider population
e.g. Tourists.
The image itself has
many connotations
Cornwall, with the
coastal scene and
surfers, thereby
enhancing the
identity of the
magazine.
I particularly like the
use of layers, with
the surfers at the
bottom of the page
and the circular cover
line in the top corner.
An effective feature of
the cover is the
variation of cover
lines, printed in
different colours.
However, the
substantial size of
‘Newquay’
overshadows the
masthead somewhat.

3. Spread over two
pages, the
contents page
for Cornwall Life
boasts an array
of images, all of
which connote
the British
coastline.
