School Magazine Front Cover Analysis 2


Bright colours are used, representing a bright, lively atmosphere. The character is smiling, showing that she is happy in this environment, and people looking to join the school will be influenced by this aspect of the front cover. The headline "Artistic Talent" anchors with the background artwork to present the amount of talent at the school.
The institution that developed this magazine is most likely the school itself, or a group of students that have decided to make their own magazine about the school, providing vital information to students. There is no price tag or sponser logo which suggests that the school has paid for the printing costs or it is only available online.
The audience of the magazine would mainly be students at the school, or looking to join the school in the future, so language and presentation of the front cover reflects this audience age and type, with bright, exciting colours, which are almost flame like, injecting a lot of energy into the cover, to make it more appealing to the reader.
The character on the front cover is represented as happy and talented, happy with her artwork displayed in the background and she is also seen as a modern 16 year old, with modern fashion. The rule of thirds has been used with a medium shot, so we can see her emotions well, but her artwork in the background.
