- 2. Model is wearing a uniform to highlight and present that the magazine is a school magazine. The models direct gaze and smiling facial expression indicates to parents that she is happy and she enjoys school. Editors may have chosen this image to persuade readers that their daughters will or already do enjoy attending the school. The use of the feminine colours e.g. pink and purple connotes that the school is an only girls school. The simple effective and neat organised structure highlight and promote the organisation and sophistication of the school.This has possibly been done to attract and persuade parents that the school is a good school to their daughter too. The puffs on the left hand side of the page highlight the fact that the school is focused on giving the best opportunities to your daughter “How your child can get ahead.” the inclusive language persuades the reader to send their child this school.
- 3. The masthead is behind the models head possibly suggesting that it is a well known magazine. Bold bright colours such as : yellow, white and pink. Have been used to make the magazine ‘pop’ and stand out to new readers. Possibly done to increase sales. The model is smiling and has a direct gaze this suggesting that the model is confident academically his broad posture also suggests this. The props e.g. Books remind the reader that it is a school magazine Books relating to -> academic education. This use of iconography allows the target audience to be identified.Which, since it being a ‘collage’ magazine, is targeted and male and females 18+ The use of the different colours ( black ,yellow & pink) suggest that this is unisex targeted magazine.
- 4. Layout is structured and it looks like newspaper. Secondary images are all over the cover there is no central image . These secondary images suggest that the well the school works with community it also highlights the ongoing history the school making which creates a positive image of the school.
