Strengths and Weaknesses for college magazine 1.

Strengths about this college magazine front cover.
1. It Features an eye catching Masthead that is tilted to the side to imply a rock style effect. Also the Masthead font is scratched and tacky. This emphasises a rock style effect to the magazine itself.
2.  The main image shows the sub-urban sport known as "Skateboarding" alot of college students today skateboard. This would then attract them to this magazine.
3. In the puffs Red colour font is used to alert the reader. This could be signified as danger and anger or it can just stand out from everything else to attract the reader.
4. This magazine features a incentive which says "Win An IPhone 4" this would attract the college audience as the IPhone 4 is one of the most popular phone in the mobile industry today. Therefore this would attract many college students to the magazine.
Weaknesses about this college magazine front cover.
1. The main image is not a direct view to college life.
2. The use of different font styles is not widely used.
3. The slogan to the magazine is fairly small and sometimes viewers would find it hard to see
4. The magazine colours do not seem widely explored and could involve more colours.
5. The main image could become more of a medium shot rather than a medium long shot. This then allows a clearer viewer on the facial expressions on the image.
