Analysis of Chill magazine
Contents page
The images featured on the contents page of CHiLL magazine make the theme of the magazine known, there is only one image featured, it is of a school dance group. The image is not one that I would use as it doesn’t appeal to both genders and seems to focus on females. The image is layered on top of a star to give the effect of the image bursting out of the page, this is only effective as the target audience is young high school students and they don’t expect the same standard as you would want from a professional magazine. The colour scheme is clear and matches the uniform, the red and black colours are featured throughout. The title is very large, this tends to happen with most magazines as they want it to stand out and make a lasting impression.
The language used in CHiLL magazine has an informal tone as it is written by students for students. Every page has a short title and is catchy; it also has a brief introduction to the page and what it will be about.
Front page
The images featured on the front page are that of the students doing activities such as scuba diving, they all look as though they are enjoying themselves which would draw your attention into reading further into the article, because the students are featured on the cover the other members of the school would be more inclined to read it to see their friends in a magazine. The school logo is also featured on the front cover in the top corner. The red and black theme is continued again onto this page.
The title of the magazine CHiLL is an acronym of the school which gives it a “cool” edge. The font is small and is mostly bullet pointed, it features quotations from students. The font is basic and mostly white on a dark background which makes it more interesting to look at for the students.
