Inspiration and research on college and music mags
As inpiration for my college magazine i searched through google to find the work of other students analysing the content, imagary and layout.
The first magazine is comprised of an image of a student at this particular college and is very versitile and bold. It is a good example of what students are interested in and how the layout and style is appealing to people of this age group. I took inspiration from the masthead of this magazine and used it as the my slogan on my magazine.
The colour cordination on this front cover is another component which really makes the image and masthead stand out. It is bold and eye catching, this is something will entice the target audience into reading.
This college magazine appeals to art students for its clean cut and simplistic style of a sketch. Possibly one which a student has created for the magazine.
The masthead and coverlines are very bold and simple, which helps the viewer concerntrate on the main image.
The Artists name is mensioned on the bottom left of the magazine.
I like this style of magazine because it is simple yet eye catching, and has the same elements which i want to include in my magazine- Black and white imagary and bold masthead.
This is another example of the first image, produced by the same college. This is a good example of the varation and in keeping style of the magazine, by just changing the colours of the masthead and background, a new issue can be produced in relation to their topic.
I want my magazine to have this versitile style and in order to do this i must organise my coverlines and masthead in a particular way whereby they will be modern and attractive to the audience.
Magazine Front cover and Contents page
This is the front cover of my magazine. I used the image of myself and Holly in this image and chose a grunge style for music loving students.
I liked the contrast in colours of my magazine cover as it stands out to the viewer.
For my contents page I kept the style of the front cover to keep the attraction of reader as they were appealed by the front cover, so will find the contents just as appealing.
I included gigs, student discounts and editors note features on the contents page.
