This is another analysis of the college magazine "Secondary teachers." Again, the target audience is teachers and students. This front cover also aims to be simple, yet attractive to the target audience. The first things you notice about this front over are the masthead and the image. The masthead is in bold writing and automatically draws attention to the reader. The word 'Secondary' generalises that the magazine is for secondary school, so it appeals to students and teachers. However, it also has the word 'teachers' in smaller writing underneath, which suggests that the main target audience is teachers. The masthead has a twist on it from the usual masthead as it is the magazines 10th birthday. Above the main word of the mast head "secondary" it reads "happy 10th birthday, teachers magazine!" This further promotes the magazine as it tells the audience the magazine has been going on sale for 10 years, which suggests to the audience is worth reading and is very helpful. The other main thing that the readers will notice is the picture which is right in the middle of the cover. The colours are very bright and attractive and automatically grabs the readers attention. The primary colours used in the image may suggest a younger audience eg. the students, however the colours dont dominate the whole cover so it is suitable for the teachers and professionals too. The image used also reflects the article shown as it is all about 'schools of the future.' The image of space and the rocket impacts the article well as when we think of space we think of the future, or something maybe out of this world. The rocket image is cleverly made as a pencil, which relates back to the magazine being for teachers and students.
The language used on the image / front cover also reflects what the article is about. Words such as 'endeavour', 'enterprise' and 'frontiers' all suggest a theme of space or the future, which is exactly what the article is about.
