The font styles are varied and are suitable. This enables to not have a variety and doesn't make the look of the magazine repetitive. The main header
is bold and noticeable, so therefore it is obvious what the actual magazine is
about. The main image overlaps the Masthead however, this is not a major issue as it is not a big obstruction which covers the majority of the title. You can still clearly see that the Masthead is "College". The Masthead is in a bright colour orange, which with the white background works in its favour and makes it stand out highly and would grab many people's attention.
The colours used on the cover are fairly varied, from blacks, blues, red and orange. The colours don't go with a specific font either. The variety of colours however I feel like are far too much, and there is no need for such a variety, sticking with 3 colour max is more than enough because it them has a set theme to comply with. If they just stuck with the colours, black and blue along with the hint of orange to fit with the masthead, it would look much better, instead of having these random colours as an extra. If anything it makes the front cover to loud and bit too much.
The main image for the over is different, the image is in black and white with a white background, which wouldn't be a big deal if the model wasn't wearing a white outfit. He blends in too much with the background so the image does not have the same eye-catching effect as say other music magazines and reality magazines do.
Going back to some of the fonts, some are fairly fine and with the harsh white background it is very difficult to read them, for example one of the cover lines on the left, it says "Sexy Summer Style", with is smart alliteration and the sound makes it more appealing, you can barley see if as the font style makes it barely visible, even with the colour being black. However, some of the bolder fonts are on the names of people, which works to grab people's attention. Which is what other magazines do, they have the name is big bold writing and then have a smaller sentence below just to give a rough hint or outline of the feature inside.
There are a large variety of cover lines, which gives a variety of different people to notice, but in addition to this, they are all college or education related. With the inclusion of universities and the latest technology on the market which will assist students with their work. It even has a gossip side to it, right at the bottom of the page it states "Campus Romance", as many reader buy reality magazines because they are interested in other people's business, it allows people access to information they wouldn't necessarily get from word of mouth.
