The main focal point of this college magazine is the model standing situated in the middle of the frame. I would guess that the target audience of this magazine are more likely to be those who prefer academic activities and to study. The model is wearing formal clothes and is carrying text books for 'Law, Physics, Business', which are considered highly academic subjects as oppose to dance, art or performance studies etc. as the model on the cover is male it could suggest the magazine aims mostly at males.The colours, black and green and other dark colours also signify male stereotypes in contrast to females. I also notice that the model has eye contact with the camera; this connects him with the reader and making them feel more involved with the magazine and the student lifestyle.
The title of the magazine is bold and stands out due to the bold and bright colours. Although large,the title doesn't draw attention away from the model as he is partially covering it. If the model was not covering the title he would therefore not be the centre focus.
Despite mainly aiming towards students who more likely to take academic subjects, the magazine also features stories that may appeal to those who are more into the social side of things. 'College Couture' and 'Thank God It's Friday’. ‘Couture' represents clothes and fashion and 'Thank God It's Friday' represents parties and having fun and relaxing over the weekend. 'Make Money On Campus' relates to students as it is difficult for them to find a job easily, therefore this cover line stands out to the students and makes them want to purchase the magazine and read on.
