In this lesson, I was given the task of annotating on 2 different magazine covers in which were from 2 different universities. I had to identify the features that I had learnt about in the previous lesson and then explain why these features would attract a certain audience. This again reinforced the ideas that magazine industries tailor there product to their target audience. The first magazine cover that i did analyse was from the Queen Mary University of London. This magazine would attract post graduates who will be in there 20's onwards in extremely good careers because of the information that they did cover and the variety of images that were on the front cover. Also because this magazine has information about what is happening in the University and the post graduates would like to keep an eye on what is going on at the University now that they have left. This magazine keeps people up to date on what is happening to many post graduates and at the University.
I also analysed another magazine front cover which was called "Newsman". This magazine will be aimed at people who are currently looking for Universities to apply for. I expect them to be of an age of 18 upwards. The target audience will have little understanding about how to apply for University and what is expected of them to apply. The design of the magazine is simplistic and the colours that have been used imply that the University is looking for young new people who are willing to learn. I annotated the front cover of the magazine again I feel that the magazine conventions have been reinforced in this task and have allowed me to think in more detail about how a magazine has been tailored to meet the target audience's needs
