Photo shoot images

Both magazines have large mastheads in bold colours; this is essential to the magazine, as it needs to stand out. In the first magazine cover the masthead is over the top of the main image’s head whereas in magazine two the writing is hidden by the main image. This doesn’t effect the writing as it is still obvious what is says and in ways makes it look more professional. Both covers can be seen to be unisex, as they do not have a more obvious colour scheme to fit a specific genre and they are school/college magazine, which need to fit everyone’s needs within the school.

In magazine one, the central image doesn’t look as professional as magazine two, this is because it looks as if it may have been taken on a phone whereas image two looks as if it may have been taken on a high professional camera, adding more professionalism to it. Image one is very simplistic with the model just looking directly at the camera whereas image two has more thought put into it as the model is holding books and looking directly at the camera with a happy body language.

The cover lines on magazine one are dull and simplistic, the layout is sporadic and you can see that this is not very professional. Also there is lack of cover lines, this makes the magazine look boring as there is not much to offer due to lack of information given. However in magazine two there is a range of cover lines and also use of plugs, which was not found on cover one. This straight away gives the reader the information that the magazine is full of stories. The format is very full and there is barely and space left unfilled, this is good as it shows that the magazine has a lot to offer. Also the cover lines will attract the target audience to magazine two as they are snappy, short lines that are easy to read.
