The front cover of my college magazine is simple but should appeal to most sudents as it isn't too "collegey" If it was "collegey" (or looked like the handbooks - colour scheme etc..) it may put them off buying it; because most students that took my questionnaire said they would not read college magazine, but are happy to read other magazines. I have used the correct colouring on the college logo to make it look professional and unique to the college; however the other colours are pale and not appealing to mainly males OR females. This should make the magazine more attractive to it's audience. The main image on my front cover is of a typical east norfolk student in a classroom - so all potential buyers of the magazine will be able to relate to the picture as a part of everyday college life. In the bottom right corner i have given a few examples of what students will find within the magazine, which continues on the contents page. The questionnaire students took showed that the most wanted feature was a "What's On" guide, therefore i included this on the front cover, to intice readers to but it.







My contents page doesn't involve any photos; instead I have used a modern floral design to appeal to the age group. The font is simple and easy to read and the colours follow the same scheme as on the front cover. I have also included the college logo again in the same place as on the front cover. Included in the magazine is a "What's On "guide, as asked for by students (this is why it's the first feature of the magazine), subject help (for student's that would like to learn more about their chosen courses - coursework deadlines, trips etc..), Parties and Events (which are bound to be common amoung teenage students - this will give information such as dates, venues and prices), Gaming (a vast amount of students - mainly targeting the male audience - would like information about new games such as Call of Duty, Black Ops. Gaming was specifically asked for as a feature when students took the college magazine questionnaire). College fashion appeals to both genders and was also suggested as a feature in the survey that I carried out. Here I have targeted "best buys" as students will also be looking for bargains that are still fashionable - as most of them are probably low on cash. Lastly on the contents page is "Sport" - looking at the college rugby team and their success. The only problem I can see with my contents page is that colour of the background and the colour of the font i have used for the features and page numbers. It becomes quite hard to read where they are similar near the bottom of the page.
