Language- The masthead is short and memorable as its 'Faze'. The colours used on the front cover is usually dominated by red, black and grey which is the house style. The main image of a young model giving the audience eye contact, this image dominates the front cover. The price and barcode are situated in the left hand corner, this shows that this magazine has a fixed price and it can be scanned and bought. The main article is obviously about 'Taylor Mommsen' because it's the biggest main feature on the front cover and also the image is of Taylor. There are also other small thumbnails on the side that give you information about other stories that are also in the magazine.
Institution- The institution of the magazine is 'Faze' which is created by the company.
Ideology- The magazine seems to promote teenagers interests such as music, fashion and celebrities. The model on the front cover seems to be influenced by music and style as she is wearing stereotypical rock clothes. With further research I found out that the model on the front cover is Taylor Monsem a actress and singer from the band The Pretty Reckless. Also on the left third one of the kicker stories is ' be happy, five feel-good foods'. This shows that the magazine designer knows that some teenagers are worried about their weight and happiness so therefore it is in the magazine to help these people have a healthy lifestyle.
Audience- The audience is teenagers as the teaser is 'Canada's #1 teen' It also it’s Canadian so it's obviously for mainly Canadians. Also the sell line 'The travel issue' gives the impression that any teenager can buy it because travelling is popular and exclusive.
Representation- The magazine shows teenagers as interesting and constantly changing people as the magazine is called Faze. The magazine front cover touches on subjects such as sport, music and celebrities so it gives you a range of current things. It doesn't pursue negative look on teenagers or positive just a mutual.
Language- The college magazines image is a medium shot with black, white and greenish yellow text surrounding it. The background is mostly in black which makes the model stand out as he is wearing a white top. The left third and right third is where the subtitles and story lines are placed, this is iconic because when stacked in a store this is the text you see first.
Institution- The institution is for education and the publisher is College lifestyle.
Ideology- The ideology of the magazine suggests that college is fun as the model is smiling. He is also holding college books which presents that he is smiling because he enjoys college and that he's content. This magazine shows this college in a positive light. The Magazine also tells you information about the college campus and how you can benefit from this.
Audience-There are 60-70 thousand viewers of the mag. The audience is aimed at young students I believe because college is for young adults. This is backed up by the skyline ‘your exclusive guide to everything hip, hot & happening’ The use of words used in this does seem to want to connect to young people as it's short snappy and slang.
Representation- The magazine views education in a positive light because of the cheery model. Also by using an African American as the model it shows that there is no racism within the college which will make people of a wider audience want to attend. Using teasers such as 'make money on campus' makes teenagers think that it will also benefit them financially to go to this college.
