This college front cover has a main image of a young, clean man. Highlighting from the offset that the magazine is aimed at young people.
The cover lines are of different sizes depending on their importance and level of interest. Increasing in size the more shocking or exciting the cover line is
The large masthead takes a whole chunk at the top of the page, making it clear to see and (in a larger font) easier to differentiate from other text in the page. The font used is also one associated with American college and is used for the numbers on the backs of football teams shirts.
The date, location intended and issue number are located in much smaller text just underneath the masthead in a white font, this ensures they can be seen but do not draw from more important things on the front cover.
The bar code is placed neatly in the bottom right hand corner as not to draw attention from the main image, however the price tag linked to it is in gold possibly to emphasize that it's free.
