Textual Analysis of "Student Times"


* The 'Student Times' is a free magazine that is produced by student and aimed at students.

* It has quite a dull background which doesn't appeal very much to it's target audience of young people.

* The main focus of the front page is the picture which is aimed at the mass market. The headline goes across the picture, and uses the biggest font. There is a lure written underneath "Peter Kay - te bloke from Bloton is back' to make you read the full story inside.

* The masthead 'Student Times' sounds more like a newspaper than a magazine, and the layout is quite traditional, expecially with the colours, blue and white. It uses a basic font as well.

* The banner along the bottom of the page stands out because it's bright green and contrasts with the rest of the page. It is a special offer for student railcards.

* It also has an offer for a niche product, a price-cut at Toni & Guy, which is positioned on the arm of the person in the picture. It is in bold and black so it stands out, but it only takes up a small proportion of the picture so it doesn't steal focus.
