College Magazine Anaylisis using LIIAR

I am anaylising this magazine because this is an average educational magazine which will be something like what I will be doing, by anaylising this magazine, I will get some ideas of what I should and should not do on mine

Language - The magazine is a really simple magazine, There is only one image with barely no writing. There is a large blue and green gradient masthead. This masthead stands out and is readable. There is also a coverline reading 'Ready for class', this also matches with the colour scheme of the masthead, making this also stand out. There is also 3 stories at the top, in a different colour, these also stand out but not too much to draw too much attention from the rest of the magazine, the stories are postitioned at the top of the magazine, making them easy to spot. There is an image of a young teenage girl wearing comedy glasses and microphone but in a school uniform, this goes well with the topic of the magazine. Date and website clearly stated in the right hand corner of the magazine, and a logo and the name of the company that runs the magazine in the left hand corner. 
Institution - Secondary Teachers and TeachersNet.Gov.Uk
Ideology - The ideology for this magazine is education, pupils and teachers. The magazine informs them all about education and schools.
Audience - Teachers and students. People who are interested in the education system. Teachers because they will want to know what students want to learn, and students because this might help them further their education. People who are interested in education will find this magazine interesting because its just full of education. This magazine could also interest other genres of people, but mainly these type of people are the focus when the people are writing and composing the front cover of this magazine. Both male and female read it.
Representation - The people being represented in this magazine are students. This is prooved because of the front cover of the magazine. On the front is a young school girl, this means that students when they look at this magazine might think of buying it because there is someone similar to them on the front cover. College life is also represented, for example if you take drama, the picture of the girl shows a drama interpretation.  This will also make drama students want to buy it.
