Analysis of Maclife cover in terms of layout and imagery
The cover of this magazine is actually really good at gaining some form of audience because it is quite eye catching, the visual hierarchy of this image would have to be the black writing that says "Is our campus safe?" because one, the font stands out from the rest of the cover and also the fact that it is direct address towards the audience it would get the people passing by thinking. The size of the font also contributes to its hierarchy amongst the rest of the cover.
After the main headline/theme of the magazine, I think the title of the magazine has the secondary visual hierarchy because it is the biggest font on the cover but because it almost merges into the colour scheme of the whole magazine cover it doesn't contrast as much as the headline does. The colour scheme of the magazine is quite cool and calm, which may represent the audiences social group, or may just be quite light so it stands out to the audience if it was placed next to other school magazines.
Comparing this to the Vocalize magazine (issue 5) I think the vocalize magazine will attract more of an audience because there was a lot of smiling faces on the cover which almost welcomes the audience to read with a smile, also the font of the title is quite edgy/modern which will most likely attract a younger audience aged 13-16, for both males and females.
