Front Cover Conventions

L.I.I.A.R Analysis

Language: The title for the magazine is big and bold which makes it stand out the most and thus making it more reliable to be seen from far away. The word 'College' is the biggest so informing the reader that the magazine focuses on the college life and the education side to college. The anchorage links to the image which gives it meaning and also gives the reader a little taster about the article.

Institution: The institution would be the college itself as it is their target audience. If a big brand company like Vogue or NME printed it no one would read it as it wouldn't be their target audience thus making a loss, which isn't what they would want. But if the college were to publish the magazine then their target audience would be fulfilled as their main buyers would be the students.

Ideology: The ideology of the magazine is to inform the students about the college and help promote events occurring. The ideas of the magazine are shown on the front page so the reader will know what to expect in the magazine.

Audience: This magazine's target audience would be students who go to the college because otherwise it wouldn't make any profit as outsiders wouldn't be interested in the college articles. On the other hand people who attend the college may be persuaded to buy the magazine if they see an article they were involved in, so this would be the targeted audience.

Representation: The representation of the magazine is to show the college interacting with the students and their education. The magazine shows sport and has articles on subjects and events that have happened or happening in the college. It is there to inform the students and also help with contact information.
