Research codes and conventions of student magazines
The masthead is “247”, the font of the masthead makes it
stand out from the rest of the magazine’s front cover. It all joins together,
which makes distinguished as its own brand. The name “247” connotes that it’s a
24/7 magazine. The visual style is very modern and new, the 2, 4 and 7 all join
together.
The central image on the front cover is of two men sitting
on some stairs, they looks very laid back, which could be used to invite you
into the magazine. On the front cover
the central image is of a piece of art work, this could be seen as inviting as
it shows that they promote pieces of art work, another little image on the
contents page is of the editor of the magazine.
The puff for the front cover of this magazine is in the top
left hand corner, but it is quite small. It says in capital letters in an
almost dog tag type border that is FREE.
The colour scheme for the front cover and contents page
seems to be in quite boyish colours “blacks and green” but this doesn’t mean
that this couldn’t appeal to girl audiences as well.
