I changed the rectangle that was behind the social media and Instagram icons. I replaced it with a blue oval as I thought it looked more appealing. I changed the colour of the shape that is behind the flannel panel so it fitted more with the colour scheme. I then changed the flannel panel text as it was blue it would not have been visible.

This is my magazine contents page flat plan. One thing i forgot to plan down was where my flannel panel would go. I would locate this somwhere below the page numbers, title lines and descriptions.

College Magazine Contents Page Stories Ideas

This is a list of ideas I had for the stories in my contents page. The page numbers would be added chronologically and would be spaced about 2-5 numbers apart depending on how much information I would think each story could hold if it were created.

College Magazine Cover - name and coverline ideas

Ideas for college magazine name and coverline ideas

I went with the idea of calling it Relevant because it would seem up-to-date by it's name and relevant to interests happening at the time. I changed the name after i planned the names because the previous name 'relevance' sounded more like a fashion magazine's name to me.

College Magazine Cover - Font Selection

Font Selection for Masthead and Coverlines

This image shows the fonts i would like to use in my college magazine cover. I chose them because they look sophisticated but also recognizable. I changed my mind on what I want to call my masthead because Relevance sounded to feminine. I wanted a balance since the audience is of both gender so I changed it to Relevant.

I also changed the font for my coverlines to a font that has less spaced out words when typed with.

College Magazine Cover Photoshoot

 

The images were meant to be a medium close-up but i did not really know what a medium close-up was. A positive to this was it gave a lot of space to crop the image.

What is a magazine?

                  What is a magazine?

A magazine is a publication that is usually sent out to sell periodically, some are hardcopy but some magazines can be published digitally.

The magazine will usually have stories, pictures and information relating to the front image of the magazine or could be generally about films, books, knitting or other different subjects.

Magazines will usually have a masthead that is eye catching to the target audience. Magazines usually have coverlines too which give a little bit more information about what is in the magazine. Puffs or Buzz’s are used to draw the reader in by saying something is ‘free inside’ or something to make a sudden interest for the reader.

The purpose of a magazine is to be interesting to the target audience, by having relevant images and text, this may be a niche or large audience.
