The colours used all go well together blend well. The issue of this magazine was from summer 2010. The colours used (orange, blue, yellow and white) have connotations of summer because they are bright and stand out on the light grey back ground. The colours give summery imagery in your mind.
The publication/selling line of this front cover says 'your exclusive guide to everything hip, hot & happening'. This would help appeal to the target audience of college students because it presents them with a magazine that interests them more about the college.
This magazine cover has many cover lines. The college alternates the different size, colour and font on the front page. I think doing this appeals to its target audience more because the cover lines maybe related to the college/educated and some are other cover lines that may interest the students.
The issue date is at the top of the magazine cover. The font is in black until it says 'summer 2010'. I think they did this because it makes 'summer 2010' stand out more on the magazine cover. In conclusion to this, it may be more effective because some of the students may be more interested in the summer issue than any other.
The main image is of a male wearing a white suit. I think this image is suitable for a summer magazine because white is quite summery therefore, a white suit will be suitable for summer. His facial expression and his body language looks like he is relaxed and acting casual. He blends well with the background colour which makes the masthead and cover lines stand out more.
The barcode and price of the magazine is a stereotypical code and convention of magazines. I think it is suitable for the magazine because the audience need to know how much the magazine they are buying will cost.
