In today's lesson we had to analyse two university magazine covers - two completly different magazine covers.
The first university magazine cover is called "QUAD" this magazine is an educational purpose magazine and has been published by Queen Mary, university of london. It seems to look like a formal magazine that is aimed towards graduates, on the front cover of this magazine it includes images showing past graduates and how successful they have become. It also has a formal layout which makes the front cover look professional and smart. I think this magazine cover is appealing for people with high class and who aim to do well in life.
The second magazine cover we looked at was called "NEWSMAN" this magazine was also for an educational purpose, it has been published by birmingham university. It is the complete opposite to the magazine we had to analyse before, although this had a positive outcome as we were able to compare and see the differences between a 'formal' and 'informal' magazine.
The newman university of birmingham magazine was also laid out effectively, although it had no alignment. I found this magazine front cover was just to the point, and more clear to understand what it was for. It also included features to suggest the university was more laid back and informal than the magazine we looked at before.
Here is images of my work, showing that I analysed the magazine covers and showing the features I have been able to find :
These are good Erin, but you must keep upto date with the work. You need to show the school prospectus before we can move on.
