Textual analysis of a college magazine
In this picture the photographer shows the upper half of the girl and zooms in to particularly show that the girl is writing this denotes that the college has a hard working environment and the students are focused this makes the college attractive which makes the picture very effective. The student is also alone which denotes that she is an independent learner.
The slogan ‘Learning from the Masters’ is the only thing that is in bold apart from the college name this tells us that the editor of the magazine wants to put across the point that Beloit is a place of success because it denotes that Beloit is where you can get the best teaching.
The setting seems to be in a classroom which could connote a positive image because when you think of a classroom you think of success.
The girl is wearing casual clothing which could connote relaxation because when we wear casual clothing we feel ourselves and relaxed.
One of the props used is a pen this denotes work and dedication, another prop used is a notebook this tells us that she is organised and is ready to learn.
Her body language tells us that she is focused, on task and ready to learn. This is gives a positive image and tells the reader that students who come to Beloit are ready to learn and are on the road to success.
The use of lighting in this picture is very effective in telling us that she is ‘Learning from the Masters’ because the light is reflected onto her hair and notebook which is connoting that she is being enlightened with knowledge from the ‘Masters’.
The colours used are quiet light resulting is a positive and quiet environment where it is easy to focus like in a library. The colour and use of font indicates that the school is fairly modern.
