School magazines analysis

Here on this front cover of a school magazine the masthead is in a reddish burgundy colour, this to me represents sporting kit and cheerleading. This is probably as it is a American college magazine. The strap lines that really catch the readers eye, are in a bold font and draw the audiences eye. The girl

In the middle of the cover, suggest that this would mainly be a females magazine and adding to this, her head slightly covers some of the mast head this means that the masthead would be well recognised by it's audience that they know what it says anyway. 

Whereas this masculine magazine uses a bright yellow masthead on a black background. This could be to stand out or could maybe be for the colours the college is associated in. Similarly on this front cover, the main image covers the masthead also. The strap lines are also very similar as yet the strap lines that stand out are mostly in a different colour in yellow, and are in bold to catch the passing eye. Yet at first glace the guy on the cover doesn't really look like a college student until the eye catches the books in his hand. 

On the other hand this front cover, seems very simple and to the point. It's definitely about science due to the image of the female in a science lab, and the content of the strap lines. The mast head unlike the others is very spaced out across the whole page in a bold font portraying a quality magazine and the white colour of the masthead portraying purity. Adding to this the strap lines on this magazine are fairly small in comparison to the other two covers yet again on this cover the key points of the magazine are in bold.
