The magazine is a college magazine which possibly gives the experience of college life of students and staff of Bishop.
The front cover though bold, does not specify what will be inside the magazine i.e. what sort of articles or story we would expect upon opening it. However using initiative; by looking at the pictures on the front cover and having the knowledge on the fact that this is a college magazine we probably can expect articles based on course experience such as feedbacks/comment on their enjoyment of their chosen course as well as what students get up to during free periods.
As it is a college magazine, its target audience is the college's students and possibly staff. However the magazine can also be use to advertise the college to new students who are currently applying in order to encourage them to apply at bishop.
The magazine cover has no central image; however it has a familiar slogan “Stop & Stare! Read All About It!” This slogan is obviously being use to attract readers into picking up a copy. It gives out the expression that there is something interesting for you to read and look at within the magazine, but you will have to have a look.
The magazine wants to be read – hence the slogans.
The front cover images are of a girl, group of students studying and a group of student taking a break and having fun. The idea this image brings and wants its readers to know is college life; it sends out the message; work hard and then play or aim high and enjoy yourself.
“All work and no play? - All have Bishop” - Another slogan portraying the personality of the college and its students. The overall message its giving is; Work hard, aim high and enjoy. A possible encouragement for students; working hard can be rewarding.
The college's students are being represented on the front cover. The magazine is showing readers that It is All About the Students. The effect of the focus of students on the front cover encourages or attracts new students, as they might think 'this college concentrate purely on their students there fore education in this college must be good'.
The fonts on the front cover are easy to read as they are white with a blue background. They are if fair size so again there is no difficulty in reading them. However it is difficult to know which one is the magazines name. The texts are all over the place so it is very chaotic – however this can sometimes be appealing to readers.
The above are the images I used in my preliminary front cover
