MAGAZINE FRONT COVER TEXTUAL ANALYSIS

This is Beloit magazine for a college. This is specified under the masthead. The masthead is very clear and bold.

There is no barcode or price on the magazine, insinuating that it is a free magazine for college students.

The image on the front cover is a colour midshot photograph containing a model, whom denotes a student inspecting a glass and links to the sub title ‘Doing Science at Beloit’ as she is clearly carrying out a science experiment. The image has clearly been chosen carefully and appropriately to appeal to the target audience of the magazine (science students).

The photograph covers the whole of the magazine cover, immediately drawing your attention to the model so you can tell what the main feature/article of the magazine will be.

The font and colour of the text is suitable because it is very clear, bold and white against the dark background. It is also a practical font as it is not too fancy or in italics so that its difficult to read.
