First Car Magazine

I have looked at the front cover of this magazine and analysed it so that i could find out what a front cover of a student magazine needs and what they look like.

There is a simple colour pallet used in this front cover. They've done this so that its not too bright and over whelming to look at but it still draws attention to the reader. They alternate between the colours black, white and yellow. Sometimes they use a black box with white text and other times they add yellow into it or change it around. This gives the magazine a different feel to it so it doesnt seem like its been repeated.

The cover photo on the front takes up most of the page, this is because the people in the pictures are the main cast from the inbetweeners. This will draw attention to the age group of 17-20 year olds. The age of people that will be buying their first cars. It also makes people pick up the magazine even if they aren't interested in the first car magazine, they want to know about the inbetweeners so they're more likely to look at the magazine.

There is a big masthead on the page, this is so that you can see the name of the magazine easily so if you are looking for the magazine its easy to find and recognise. The writtingis in white because the background is a dark so The white is the easiest to notice as it is opposite of black. This makes the text jump out of the page.
