student magazine contents analysis

1. Heading is bright green
and contrasts against the
white background and is
also the same colour as
the page numbers.
The main image is quite large and
takes up nearly a quarter of the page.
The only picture on the page so is the
only picture advertising what’s in the
magazine.
The colours used
for the sub
headings are
bright pink and
contrast against
the background
and the bright
green text. It also
shows that the
text under pink
text is related.
The text
describing the
pink titles is
black and
smaller than all
the other text
on the page.
This is because
it is describing
what is in the
magazine.
The background
colour is white,
because it is
such a basic
colour it doesn’t
really make the
magazine
attractive.
However it is a
good colour to
use as most
colours contrast
against it.
There is only one
picture on the
contents page and the
rest of the page is
taken up by writing;
this suggests that the
producers want the
content the actual
content of the
magazine to be more
important than the
pictures. The lack of
presentational
features may suggest
to the audience the
magazine could be
boring and not very
exciting.
The layout is quite basic and has left a lot of
black space in the middle of the page. If the
image was in the middle of the page and the
text was around the image is could create
more attention on the image and there
wouldn’t be a blank space in the middle of the
page, it would be around the edges of the
page where peoples attention wouldn’t be
focused.
