This is a college magazine. I know this because the student looks about 17 and also she is dressed as if she is at college. Also at the side they are talking about stories that relate to and are appealing to college student. Example of these stories are fashion, tattoos and resumes (CV). Also this magazine is quite gossipy and not very informative. I know this because there is articles about fashion and celebs instead of educational features.
Representation
The girl on the cover is shown as being happy and content. I know this because she is smiling. Also she is wearing bright coloured clothing to reflect her personality. As well as this she looks down to earth and is wearing casual clothes just like any other college student. This makes her relatable. Also college girls may aspire to be like her because she looks successful.
Audience
The target audience for this magazine is college students aged 16-21. I know this because the magazine features articles such as 'Freshman Fashion' and 'Spice up your resume' and these articles would be appealing to college students. Also the title of the magazine is 'COLLEGE' and so this makes the target audience of this magazine quite obvious.
Media Language
There is meduim shot of a college student on the cover of the magazine. This shot is used to make the picture look natural and not intimidating. Also they have used two colours in their colour scheme red and black.
Also they have used two or three different fonts to keep the cover easy to read . As well as this there is a barcode and price in the left hand corner. Moreover the font is big at the top and then gets smaller near the bottom. The biggest bit of text on the cover is the masthead which is normal for a magazine and is to be expected. Also the girl on the cover is wearing regular clothing and a little bit of jewellery.
