Grimsby Institution Magazine Analysis

I then looked at a third magazine for Grimsby Institution. This magazine also has a target audience of students. The front cover of this magazine stands out and will draw the attention of the target audience. It has eye catching colours of light blue against a dark grey and white. It uses conventions of a magazine, it has a website, feature headings and a slogan But it does not use the conventions of synergy, puff, and issue number or a price of the magazine. The style of the front page is eye catching because it is done in a cartoon style, the picture is animated. However the grey in the masthead does not look right. Also the feature headings are very small and unclear against the light grey background. Another downside of this front cover is that the picture in the right hand corner is not animated which does not fit in with the style of the rest of the page. The contents page follows the same colour scheme as the front page. It also stands out because the different stories are all in different colours but they are still readable, also they have the page number next to them. However the information at the bottom of the contents page is not really necessary and could have been put onto a different page.
