L.I.I.A.R ANALYSIS

Language: the title of the magazine being 'College lifestyle', gets across that this magazine is a college magazine and for students. The word 'college' being in a bigger text size than lifestyle gives the impression that the magazine is more focused on the education side of college rather than the lifestyle side, however the lifestyle is still mentioned. 
The cover line "Dancehall's dance future" links to the image because the image is of Jeffrey 'assassin' Campbell. The magazine suggests that Jeffrey is an upcoming star.

Institution: The institution of the magazine is the college itself. If a publisher published the magazine it wouldn't get the readers it needs and therefore would make a loss. The college can publish it internally to their students and would hopefully attract a number of student readers and therefore make a profit.

Ideology:The ideology behind this magazine is to explain to the reader what is happening at the college and the main cover line is a preview of what can be expected in the magazine. The various other cover lines explain what other stories can be expected to be in the magazine.

Audience: The audience for this magazine is students at college. You can tell this because of the magazines title 'College lifestyle' and the model is holding a law textbook which suggests education and A level education, therefore college students. The magazine is to inform college students about the different things which can help them in their college life and the lifestyle that is being offered to them. 

Representation: The representation of the magazine is to show how college is all about the education. The model is represented as an educated student who studies business and law and shows that its not all about the lifestyle. The fact that 'lifestyle' is in a smaller size than 'college' represents the meaning of college, and that is education.
