Front cover evaluation:
To begin with, i used the three models here purely because they are of the age bracket that the magazine targets.Their apparent tastes and fashion senses are apparent in the picture and typical of my target audience.
Secondly, the colors used  symbolize happiness and fun making college life seem interesting and exciting. The colors are eye-catching too and stand out to students who don't want to read boring magazines. Also, the expressions of the three models seem to blend well with the overall feel of "happiness" on the front cover with the colors.
Thirdly, the font used is very informal and doesn't make the magazine look too serious. This is good, because students have enough serious tasks to do in courses and need something interesting to read in the meantime. The font is also quite modern in appearance and doesn't look at all too upper-class or too lower-class meaning it fits nicely in between suiting mostly middle class students at public colleges' similar to East Norfolk.
Lastly, the slogan at the bottom makes the student feel special and considered and the topics written on the front are mostly about social life in college and interesting topics that will appeal to most students to get away from their studies.




Magazine contents page analysis:
The color theme has changed here from the front cover to match the colors of East Norfolk's badge. This emphasizes a sense of pride. and also looks aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
In regards to the models used, they are the same ones featured in the front cover. However, their expressions have changed to being more silly which tries to lead the reader in promising much more fun inside.
