Music magazines & College Magazines

Some of the similarities between Music and College magazines:

• Both College and Music magazines follow the traditional colour scheme of when 3 colours used.
• Both magazines have a masthead which can be behind the cover image which usually makes magazine covers look very professional.
• Both magazines have cover lines to give us an insight of what we might see inside the magazine.
• Both magazines have a bar code, both can also have issue date and the price.

Some of the differences between Music and College magazines:

• Magazines covers can be in many sizes, however having a close up image as a cover of a college magazine would look a little weird as the audience would want to see what the person is wearing and the environment etc. Not necessarily what the models face looks like.

• Also, the cover model on a college magazine would usually be smiling with their teeth or have a big smile to suggest that the college is a very welcoming and warm place . Whereas music magazines would have very seductive/ skin showing images to attract audience attention(depending on the genre ).
