College Magazine Textual Analysis.

The National Student Magazine.

   

They follow the convention of genre by having the Masthead in the left hand corner. The bold font attracts the audience to the magazine as it stands out and is eye catching. The cover lines attract the target audience, which is students. As they are about things that students are interested in, for example the travel and fashion, tips on dissertations. The movie reviews also suggest that this is a magazine made for students.  There is a close up shot of the model, Natalie Portman and she is in direct mode, attracting the audience as it looks like she is looking directly at them. The dark background makes her face stand out, making her the main focus of the magazine. The colours match the logo, and stand out on the background. The lighting is on her face only, as she is the main focus of the magazine, it also seems to be on only one part of her face, the part that isn’t cracked, suggesting that there are too sides of her, as we see in the film The black swan. The main cover line stands out the most as it is the biggest. It follows the codes and conventions as it is situated at the bottom, in the left hand corner. As it is her name, it may attract her fan base.
