Initial Research 2

The conventions of the four magazines are all linked to the student/college magazine theme. The San serif font for  magazine 2 and 3 show boldness and the mastheads stand out more. However the Serif font on magazine 1 and 4 is more defining and this brings out the contrast of the four magazines. The clean cut images of the students are well presented and the audience are well aware of the age range of the students and who the magazine is for. The use of a range of different colours show that it will attract a certain audience and in magazine 3 there is a use of bright yellow and white contrast which draws attention to the huge bold font. Magazine 2 has a picture boost which is very unique and stands out as the model is posing in a much different way to the other models in the magazines. The white and black contrast on magazine 2 will appeal as its striking. Magazine 4 has a image of a man raising his hands like he is celebrating and is relieved.. this shows strong posture and it would interest the audience as they would want to know what he is doing and what the point is in the stance, also who the man actually is. Magazine 1 will attract the students as it looks like a very intellect magazine and the structured cover lines on the side tell the reader what the issue is about in a lot of detail. All four magazines have its own way in attracting the audience and these are unique to them yet they all have appealing models and contents to them.
