Preliminary task: front cover textual analysis



Front cover Textual Analysis


This magazine cover consists of a colour photograph of a male looking directly into the camera. It’s a medium long shot as you can only see from the head to the waist. The man is holding a few educational books in his hand, signifying that this magazine has a target audience of students in education. The photograph covers most of the front cover and the background is black, to emphasise the image of the man.

His clothing comes across as smart casual; I think this has been chosen carefully to achieve the appropriate target audience. His non verbal communication comes across as very independent and proud to be involved in education, he also seems quite confident as he is looking directly to the camera.

The masthead is a very complex and simple the colours and the name completely compliment the magazine cover; it clearly indicates what the magazine is about. The anchorage used in this cover is used in a sans serif font; it appears the text is very modern and high-tech, once again appealing to the appropriate age group. The vary of font and size on this cover gives the magazine a edgy and modern look.
