As both newspapers I have analysed have similarities and differences it is hard to say which one is better. From my point of view Epigram appeals to more students as I feel it is less daunting and contains less text. The masthead and headlines I feel attract more attention, however it could be seen as being too crowded. I feel the lures are layout in a better, more stylish way which will attract my audience. Also the choice of lures appeal to my personal, and general student interests. However Cambridge university is one of the most prestigious in the world, so can be expected to target different interests. The meal deal is a very good pug as it will attract to many students as it is eye catching and benefits students. I feel both magazines use colour appropriately, although The Epigram appears more striking. On the other hand, Varsity's layout appeals to me as it seems clean and less busy.
To determine which cover attracts my audience more I will conduct a survey. From this I can conclude what types of layout, colour, content and headlines appeal to them. I will brainstorm some potential questions.
Which newspaper cover attracts you the most?
Is this because of:
- colour scheme
- content/headlines
- main images
- name of magazine
- font styles
- lures (fashion/music/arts)
- layout
What do you feel is most important on the front cover of a student newspaper? ( 1 - 6, 1 being the most important)
- name of the newspaper
- any deals/promotions featured
- fashion/art/music lures
- images
- headlines/content
- layout
