magazine evaluation

This magazine is clearly aimed at young university students. In my opinion I think that this magazine suits its audience very well as its visuals are clearly suited for the age group yet shows a high degree of intelligence, which I feel fits the audience well.
The graffiti speaks to the reader and the message is very encouraging and cool. The overall look of the magazine is professional and looks influenced by art.

The language on the front cover seems informal witch would appeal to the young audience
The text “the green issue” implies that allot university students are environmentally friendly. The background is also an urban setting witch again implies the place that students may live.
