- The mast head is big and bold, right at the top so that it is easier to spot, and follows the idea of reading from top to bottom. The colour is like a light greenish colour, which is a neutral tone, allowing the cover to look more mature, but still appealing and eye catching at the same time.
- The cover lines all have a consistent font, size and colour. This allows the cover to look more professional and serious. The cover lines allow the readers to have an insight of what is inside the magazine, allowing the readers to be pulled in to find out more about the key headlines.
-The cover star is smiling and looks happy. He is holding books in his right hand and is giving us direct address. This could connote that the cover star is happy with being in college, enjoys his studies and is having a good time. This is something that tends to be in all if not most college magazines, making the cover stars more likeable by the readers, and giving positive vibes to the readers about college.
-There is a consistent colour scheme of white and a light greenish colour. This makes the cover automatically mature but fun at the same time, due to the green colour.
-The shot type is a mid-shot, it is a studio photo shoot picture, instantly giving the cover a professional vibe.
-There are two main things we can see on the cover star's body, which is the cross necklace he has on and the books he's holding. This could connote that the cover star puts both his faith and his studies bot on the same level, meaning they are both very important to him. This could possibly give the readers some inspiration.
-There is also a flash which is a bright pink colour, making it stand out to the reader.
