This magazine cover follows the main conventions of a magazine front cover for a school/college magazine, it has a main image which again, is giving a direct mode of address to my audience. I stuck with the same tag line at the top of my magazine to make it easily recognisable to m audience, I also kept one of my coverline consistant as well, 'Read you opinion! Real Students! Real Life' this is to make the magazine more recognisable and they will have the motivation to read what is inside the magazine. I used more incentives to make the magazine more appealing in the this issue, I made some things in bold to make the more eye popping to the audience. And again I stuck with the same colours because I was going with a 'winter' theme so I kept the colours of- white and blue mainly- the connotations of these colours are winter and cold. This is why I featured an article on how to beat the winter blues this year and stay cheery- this will appeal to my audience because they would've been feeling the cold weather and will want to know how to improve on how they are feeling.
If I was going to do this again I would've manipulated the image abit more and editted it so you could see less of the background and more of the person.
And I would've made the coverlines even bolder to make them stand out more.
