Textual Analysis of a Student Magazine - '24/7'


  • Bright, contrasting colours that stand out. Main colour scheme is pink, white and turquoise-blue. These are very fun colours, which links in with the stereotype of students having lots of fun.
  • Main image is of a female student, posing. This would appeal to female students as many would love to be models.
  • The masthead is bright white and against a turquoise-blue, it stands out. It is in a very ‘funky’ font that again links in with the stereotype of students being trendy. The ‘funky’ font also links in with the cover-line of ‘Street Style’, as the ‘street style’ is known for being very ‘funky’ and unique.
  • The layout of ‘24/7’ is quite simple. The main image is displayed on the left hand side of the cover, while any text is displayed on the right hand side of the cover. There is a small banner running along the bottom of the page and a small puff in the top left of the page.


  • The layout of the contents is again, like the cover, simple. There is a main image in the middle, top of the page, and all of the text is displayed around the the image, boxing it in. This draw our attention to the image.
  • The main colour scheme is white and orange. The text is all white and so stands out on the orange background.
  • The main image looks a bit like a student’s artwork, which appeal to art students within college. This also would make students feel more involved in the magazine as it is displaying real students work.
  • The font is very easy to read. It is a mix of serif and sans-serif font, but both are very clear.
