The main image is using direct address because the model is looking directly into the camera. The title has a clear font with an eye-catching colour and size draw the audience's attention, which would be primarily be students. The left and right third have all the puffs/pugs which has the effect of averting the readers attention towards the model in the main image. The masthead is behind the model's head, which is in convention with a professional magazine which makes it more effective. The colour scheme is linked in with the masthead, which has the dateline underneath in the right third and has the font colour as yellow, and the puffs provide the same or complimentary colours, white and blue. It also has a bar code, with the price line and issue number connected in a block of yellow.
The masthead looks unprofessional as it seems to have originated from a tool such as WordArt as well as it taking up the whole of the top third of the college magazine. The font of the puffs is very childish and there seems to be no existing colour scheme which makes the whole page look unorganized and chaotic. The main image, whilst using direct address, is an awkward and unedited image,which would not attract the target audience due to his more mature appearance. There is a bar code.
The masthead is behind the model's head, of whom looks underage, which makes it look professional however the thin font makes it look dull and generic. The text is covering his face, which distracts the audience and defeats the purpose of having a central image. It also has incorrect spelling. It has a bar code. The colour scheme is very loose because of the three colours used only to are repeated, one being the title font colour.
