analysis of magazine 1


Language- photographs look like they have been organised on were the students were going to stand. They didn’t think about how the clothes and walls were going to affect how clear the text is against the colours of the clothes and wall’s. The magazine name is strong, clear and stands out on the magazine and is it a bright red which might make people remember the name. They have thought about the headlines and the story’s what are going to be in the magazine because they relate to the pictures, but the colour of the head line story’s do not work well on the pale colours on the boys or on the walls. There is no slogan on the magazine, which is a down fall because if it had one there would be something to remember the college by.

Institution- Grimsby College. The college is a institute of further and higher education, it is a general further education college, offering full and part time further education, people of all ages can attend. You can train for business, education in the community and commercial activities at its main Nuns corner campus in Grimsby.

Ideology- That the college allow’s you to be who you want to be, because by looking at the male’s in the photo, they are not your ideal stereotypically students, they look rebellious. The other beliefs could also be music because both photo’s are to do with music, one been a band and the other been a student who has successfully got through in the Grimsby version of x factor, this means the college are strongly agreeing with there students beliefs and what they want to succeeded in music.

Audience- People who are willing to start a career. The people in the magazine cover look about 18+ so id’ say the age range is 16-20 but because this isn’t a six form college it is open to all ages. The SEG audience will be C1-E because they will not be working to earn enough money to be in the C above range, they might have a part time job instead.


Representation- The magazine represents the students, of the college, which doesn’t have to be the stereotypical age, but on the front of this magazine, there are a male and female student which means it represents both genders. This will attract the potential new students, because its letting them know what the representation and how good the college is.
