East Riding College Front Cover and Contents;
L – The masthead is the most dominant piece of text on the front page, however is quite plain, boring, not very eye catching or memorable. I don’t think it makes you want to read it because it looks like it won’t have much fun stuff to read about. The contents is a little bit better because it is more brightly coloured and makes you want to read it a bit more because it is eye catching and the images draw your attention in too.
The main image is the most eye catching thing on the front of the magazine – it takes up most of the page so you are more drawn to it. Again it isn’t a very memorable or exciting image, but it does give you knowledge of what will be spoken about because it has a little description in the top right hand corner. The images in the contents give you a bit of a hint as to what could be in the magazine, however it would have been better if there were little descriptions next to them so that it provided more information.
The colour scheme is very simple too. The colours mainly used are black and white, this makes the college magazine look more sophisticated and like the target audience may be older than college students because it isn’t that bright or colourful, and most teens like to read something that looks interesting and this magazine doesn’t have these features. It only starts to look slightly interesting when you see the contents page because of the bright green colour; however as the contents isn’t the first thing that you see on a magazine it doesn’t really help when promoting the mag.
There is no anchorage because there is no slogan or anything extra that makes you drawn to this magazine it is really boring. The only thing that is that it is free and if people notice that, then more people may read it.
I - It shows that East Riding College created the magazine and promotes it and the information is included on the front so you can see what the mag is going to tell you about inside.
I - The college produce this magazine to let people know what is happening with the college and make people more aware of what they have to offer. By showing the image of a media trip it shows that there is information inside about a trip that some other students may be interested in.
A – The target audience is the students of East Riding College or to the parents possibly.
R – This magazine represents the college, but makes it seem boring and not very interesting as it is plain and bland.
Grimsby College Magazine Front Cover and Contents;
L – Masthead is short, memorable, presented as a large, dominant icon which is noticed.
- The main image is also the background. It isn’t a main image however there is a smaller image in the bottom left hand corner which hints to what could be inside. The background/pictures are clearly seen and are eye catching because it isn’t just one whole boring colour it is bright blue and white.
- The blue and white are a contrast next to one another but work well because you notice the mag. However when you get to the contents page the colour scheme is not consistent as it adds three extra colours into it and it isn’t mainly blue and white, there is now pink, orange and green too. This makes the magazine look like there is a lot more going on than there actually is and some people may not like this because it is too ‘busy’ however at the bottom of the page the house style is still clearly there as it is the same as the front cover.
- Images are mainly on the contents page. This is good because it can act as hints as to what is in the magazine but it would have been better if descriptions were also included so that you knew a bit more information.
-It doesn’t say a price or have a bar code.
- Contact information is shown on the front cover and contents.
- There isn’t any information about the main article because there is no main image on the front cover to say what it could be.
I – This magazine is produced and written by Grimsby College to allow people to know things about the college they may not have known before and tell them what is going on inside the college.
I - The college produce this magazine to let people know what is happening with the college and make people more aware of what they have to offer.
A – Students of the college and people interested in the college (mainly teens).
R - This magazine represents the college, and would like to portray themselves positively.
South Hunsley School and 6th Form College Magazine Front Cover; (no contents)
L – The masthead is presented as a large, dominant icon which you notice straight away, it also includes the logo so you know which college it represents.
It states that it is the specialism issue so you know what you are going to be reading about.

- There is no price or barcode on the front cover.
- The main image implies that inside the magazine it will be about what you can learn at Hunsley and what they have to offer.
I – South Hunsley have produced this magazine to draw attention to themselves in a positive away and promote the 6th form college and school as a whole.
I - Hunsley have made this to allow people to see what takes place in their school/college and send out the message that they are one of the best colleges in the area.
A - This magazine is aimed at parents of pupils, people in the area, people looking for a college or school etc.
R – They want this to promote themselves positively and accurately with this magazine and I think that this magazine would appeal to parents however I am unsure about students because it isn’t that brightly coloured however does look professional and neat.
