This magazine cover is for 'The College' school. It has quite a unique layout compared to another typical school magazine cover. Generally, the cover is quite simple - the mise-en-scene and colour scheme is all simple. The masthead is rather large at the top of the cover with a New Times Roman font, which is a formal, old-era styled writing. There is one caption at the bottom, "Wittgenstein", which is in an italic font and a blue colour to stand out against the rest of the cover. This may be because it is an important word that the audience must be aware of. The main cover image is a drawn portrait, maybe suggesting that the school specialises in Art. The character is wearing a suit, which is a formal outfit, suggesting that the school is high class. The character also seems to be an old male. The whole image overall, gives connotations of wealth, education and experience. The cover is generally black and white, in terms of colour palette. Black and white are simple, formal colours, which suggest a sophisticated magazine and contains serious content rather than fun, unlike the magazine Evolve. Lighting wouldn't have been considered, as the image is a drawing. Mise-en-scene is clear and simple with a plain white background to symbolise a genuinely serious content. There isn't much going on with mise-en-scene apart from the one character. The audience would be the students who attend the school and perhaps parents and people who are interested in joining this particular school.
