School Magazine Analysis 3

This magazine front cover tries to show the students having a good time at their particular school. It also tries to show off the high quality computers the school has to offer to their students. The editors do not use a background, they just use a picture from the school which covers the whole front cover, but they have a picture of an eagle at the back of the room which shows the high quality standard of the school. The primary optical area is filled with the eagle picture; this tells us that the editors are trying to show off what their school looks like. In the terminal area there are the computers, the computers are put in the terminal area because this will be the last thing the reader looks at and leave them thinking what quality facilities the school has to offer. The hotspots are placed on the children’s faces; this shows the students using the high quality computers. The computers are also in a hotspot which helps the editors to show of their computers. A cover line is also in a hotspot, the cover line says “Empowering students for a new future”, and this shows the intentions of the school and would make the school come off as ambitious and capable of helping the students achieve their goals. The picture of the eagle is also in a hotspot which helps the editor’s show off their general décor.
