Task 1-comparising of 2 college magazines

Comparison of Garth hill College magazine and Rambler magazine.

Garth Hill College magazine features:

Masthead, bar code, banner, date, main image, smaller images, left hand third,  Headlines, pull quote.

Garth Hill College masthead is very different from the Rambler masthead, GHC (Garth Hill College) is all the same colour and it is a simple masthead that explains what the magazine is going to be about. The blue connotes cleanliness suggesting that this magazine will be appropriate for all ages, aka no rude language.

Rambler doesn't really suggest alot, it gives no clue of what the contents of the magazine will include, unlike GHC which suggests that it is about Education.

The banner on GHC looks professional, it gives relevant information about the contents of the magazine, Rambler does not have a banner.

GHC date is visible which allows the readers to know which issue is which. Rambler does not include a date, this is not professional, and it therefore means that GHC looks alot more professional.

GHC includes a left hand third, this is a professional look, it includes relevant headlines indicating what the magazine will include and feature.  Rambler magazine does not include a left hand third, this unprofessional and it does not give a clear indication of what the magazine will include.

The main image on GHC connotes that thie magazine is for people who are interested in there work and want to work hard, unlike rambler which the main image which is out of focus and has been badly photoshopped, this is not professional and it ia s bad llok for a magazine. the picture also suggests nothing about the contents of the magazine.

The Pull quate from GHC magazine has relevance to the picture and it also suggests what the contents might be of the magazine.  Unlike Rambler which has a quote suggesting not a great detail of what the magazine will feature or include.

The colours used in GHC is all colour coded, keeping to mainly blue and orange which are positive colours which suggests that this magazine is going to be positive towards education. rambler bright blue colour choice suggest that the magazine contents will be alarming and daring, however it is a bad choice of colour because it does not suggest that it is a school/college magazine.

Overall, the GHC magazine is a much higher quality than the rambler magazine and i think this because there are many missing gaps in the rambler magazine, it looks unfinished and rushed, this i s not a professional look, also many important features are missing such as the date.

Rambler magazine features:
Masthead, headlines, pull quote, main image, bar code
