Analysis On Students magazine

This is evidentally a school magazine, I know this because all the information is school based and the front cover has a student which connotes that this is a student magazine.

Also the title of the magazine is very appealing 'student suprise' it relates to school because they have involved students in the name making it fairly obvious that it is for students.

 

The language used is very child friendly it allows all their readers to be able to understand

There is a small amount of writing on the front cover in my opinion I think it looks fairly plain which makes it look unfinished.

However the colours of the font is very eyecatching it makes the front cover more presentable as it follows a pink & yellow theme. 

 

It dosen't have a barcode or the price that the magazine will be sold at but it does have a button.

The sort of people who might read this type of magazine are people who share an interest in school events and students who want to find out more about what to do after finishing college whether they'll decide if they are going into higher education etc.
