'College Lifestyle' is a college magazine, that uses various techniques to attract the student audience. The masthead of 'College Lifestyle' attracts attention by using a bright primary colour. It is in capital letters to make the magazine stand out more. The large picture takes up the majority of the front cover and is the main focal point of the magazine. The layout is fairly minimal and the writing is rather small and uses a sans serif font. They use different colours for each titles, so you can easily see which titles go with which stories. The pink 'splat' callout immediately attracts the eye because it is a completely different colour to anything else on the page.
'College' is another college magazine, that is aimed for the eye of a student. The Masthead of 'College' is bright and bold which attracts attention, they have used capital letters to make the magazine stand out more. This magazine cover is very similar to 'College Lifestyle' with the large picture in the centre, which is the main focus. The writing is rather small and it uses sans serif font. They use a bold colour, such as black for the writing, because there is a white background, so the words stand out, which attracts people, because it is eye catching.
The 'Xbox 360' magazine is not a college magazine but it is still aimed at the same age of people. At first glance the front cover seems to be quite cluttered but if you look closer the layout and content is rather similar to 'College Lifestyle' and 'College'. 'Halo Wars' is written in the same font as the actual game acting as a logo and a recognisable symbol for the intended target audience. Less text is used on the front cover compared to the two magazines. Once again the picture takes up the majority of the front cover and is the main focal point of the magazine. The number '360' stands out because it is in a bright colour compared to the background.
