Who are you aiming your magazine at specifically?
My magazine will be targeted at college students. The age will range from 16-19 years, male or female.
What will your magazine be about?
My magazine is going to be about life as a student. It will include sucsess stories to motivate students, things to do in and around college, and discount vouchers for a variety of shops, both clothing shops and stationary shops.
What are your ideas for coverlines?
For my coverlines I wanted to be in the same theme and style as the magazine. I chose 2 coverlines to use on my front cover. My first is 'Steps to student sucsess' this will encourage students to read how they can achieve sucsess. My second is 'Ways to save your money!'. I have used this coverline to encourage the more laid back college students to buy the magazines to find out how to do that, and will end up reading the sucsess stories and might be inspired.
What title have you chosen and why?
The title I have chosen is 'Student Weekly'. I have chosen this because it is simple and makes what is in the magazine clear to the readers. Other examples of options i had were 'Campus' and 'The national student'. I thought campus was too american for what I want to be in my magazine, and I thought The national student was too long and national was too formal for my magazine.
What fonts do you want to use?
I want my font to jump off the page and catch the raeders eye. Therefor I think it should be large and bold. I dont want the writing to be girly as this will remove the boys from the target audience and I want my magazine to be approachable to all students male or female.
When in the year will it be published?
I want my magazine to be published in the autumn, preferably just before october half term. This means people will be reading the magazine a lot before exams start and this will give them methods to study and ways to control work over the upcoming months.
What kind of image do you expect to put on the front cover and how will you go about getting this image?
I would like my photo to be of a student, who is appearing to be a role model for all students. I want the photo to be taken at Southdowns, either in one of the cafe's or classrooms or the surroundings to get a feel of college on the front cover. I will take the photo in my media lesson of a friend on my camera.
How frequently will would it be published?
My magazine will be published every half term before the holidays start so it gives students something to read over the holidays.
What are the dimensions of the cover?
My magazine will be 11 by 4 inches. I chose this is this is the most popular magazine size.
What images/colour would you use on the contents page?
As my magazine will be published in autumn, I will stick to the theme of greens, blues, reds, oranges and yellow. I think these colours will work well together and will also represent the season. The images I will use will reflect to the stories listed on the contents page.
