Front Cover Conventions

L.I.I.A.R Analysis

Language: The magazines masthead 'College Lifestyle' shows that the magazine is more involved in the education side to the college but also the different lifestyles within. It is the main point on the front cover along with the image as they are both big and take up much of the cover. The cover line gives the image a sense of meaning by linking each other with the name 'Jeffrey 'Assassin' Campbell'.

Institution: The institution is the college itself as they have the power to include what they want and publish which articles are important. A big brand wouldn't be interested in publishing the magazine as it isn't their target audience which would mean a loss in sales. The college publish the magazine because they know that the magazine will sell making them money instead of losing it.

Ideology: The ideology of the magazine would to inform the students of whats happening at the college and upcoming events. Also the cover line states how good the person in the image is so would attract other students to buy it so that they can find out how they can become involved.

Audience: The audience for the magazine is students that attend the college as they are articles involving some of the students and events that have happened. On the other hand students from outside of the college may have interest in the magazine as they may be an article included which they feel they can relate to.

Representation: The representation of the magazine is to show what the college has to offer to its students and show the educational side and also the lifestyle that comes with the college. It also helps students along with their studies and help them achieve their goals and reach their dreams.
