Conventions analysis of a magazine

 
This magazine 'COLLEGE life' shows the conventions of having a bold title (mast head).  The word college is the biggest text on the page this will instantly catch the readers eye and let them know the subject of the magazine.  The other half of the title says 'life'.  This part is written in smoother, fancier text.  This could indicate that college life flows nicely and its a nice period of time in your life.
It also has sell lines telling the buyers what articles will be featured in the magazine.  The most important story looks to be the 'Healthy Eating on a COLLEGE BUDGET'.  It looks to be the most important because it draws the readers eye the most as 'COLLEGE BUDGET' is in bold, capital orange text. 
The image of the girl holding the books is an obvious college scene.  The girl has a big grin on her face suggesting that she enjoys college, this will give off a positive light for other students.   
There is also other pictures on the front of the magazine which makes it easier for the buyer to know what is included in the magazine without reading any of the text.  The colours used are also very bright, catching peoples eye and keeping the magazine looking young and fresh for students.   
The target audience for this magazine is college students.  This is shown by the college student on the front and the title which involves the word 'COLLEGE' in it.  This is what immediately catches the buyers eye.
