Analysis of school contents page

1. The title of the page is a lot smaller than the rest of the graphics
on the page. This could show that the magazine doesn’t need to
show the readers what type of page they are reading because
possibly the people reading will already know what type of page
this is just by looking at the layout and what text is already on
the page. It also makes the page look more simplistic and formal
which could be what the actual college is like.
The images are all of equal size this makes each individual
one stand out equally making the reader decide which one
stands out more to them. Each of the different pictures
corresponds with a different page making the readers want
to find out about what these images could be about. The
colours are very high saturated and all look similar, like its
done by the same artist, this could show that everything to
do within college is linked.
The whole page has been split up into three different parts. One part is just of the images but
also the images have been split into two halves. The other part is of some of the key pages that
the writers want the audience to read, including a fair amount of information of what could be
on the page, including the page number. Then there is a smaller section for the departments.
These are the page numbers that correspond with the images, which don’t have any detail
about what could be on the page making the readers want to find out about it even more. The
whole page is very spacious showing that the magazine has a lot to offer and doesn’t need to
show this to the readers, could also maybe represent a spacious campus withing the college.
The fonts used are
very formal and
simplistic. This
makes the text
easier to read but
also represents to
the audience that
the magazine is
very formal and
sophisticated, it
shows the readers
that it is very
serious about its
college and that
information of the
college is very easy
to obtain. Also the
font size is fairly
small creating a lot
of space on the
page making it
more simple.
There are only
three main colours
within the whole
page: white, black
and burgundy. This
again shows the
simplicity of the
magazine and it
doesn’t need a lot
of colours to
attract the readers
attention because
the magazine has
confidence that
people will want to
read the magazine
anyway just to find
out more about
the college. Also
having less colours
makes the page
more formal which
could be conveying
what the actual
college is like.
The mode of
address through
the whole page
seems very
intellectual and
aimed at
university
students. This
makes the
readers know
that the whole
magazine has
intellectual
information and
this also
represents the
university as
being very
intellectual
offering its
students a great
education that
is worth the
time.
