The camera angle of the model in the centre
of the magazine cover is taken at mid shot. The models body language and facial
expression gives the impression that college is enjoyable and is a calm and
relaxed atmosphere. The model also appears to be stood in a park which is a
relaxed and pleasurable environment. The oppositional reading for this is that
college should be a place of hard work and the model is enforcing the idea that
college is too relaxed.
The language is very informal making this
magazine appeal to young people. The
magazine also covers controversial topics such as underage pregnancies and
legal drugs. The oppositional reading for this is that it makes college sound
potentially dangerous or at the very least morally corrupt. The preferred
reading for this is that college students need to be made aware and warned of
these dangers before its too late.
The colour theme of
red and blue appeals to male readers along with the attractive model, however
the female figure could act as a role model for the female readers. This
suggests that it appeals to both genders. The preferred reading here is that
college is for both genders.
The typography is sans serif as the font is
informal making it appeal to young people, which is the preferred reading.
The model is also wearing relaxed cool
clothing matching the colour theme of red and blue, therefore appealing to both
genders.
