Research and planning: magazine cover so far

This is my magazine cover so far. I changed the orginal planned photo because I felt that this new photo suited the genre and purpose better than the orignal photo.
good points:

• The title of the magzine is relevent to the genre.
• All of the stories are ones that are relevent to the genre and you would expect to see in a college magzine.
• The background colour is not too harsh on the eye.

bad points

• It is missing a date for the magazine and a price.
• It is missing a selling line.
• The text is not in the same font making it looked mismatched. 

To improve i will:

• Add a date.
• Add a price.
• Change the fonts so they are the same for consitancy.

Research and planning: font type research

These are my mastheads that I have created for 3 fake magazines.

Research and planning: medium close up examples

These are my examples of medium close ups.

Research and planning: college magazine analysis

I think that this is a college magazine because of several key features that it has like:

• The age of the person on the front cover she looks about 18
• The masthead  of the magazine 
• The stories in the magazine are relevant to what we in the uk would consider relevant for college student because in the USA university are college
• She is also carrying books which is relevant as in college you have a lot of books to carry 
• The target audience of this magazine is students who attend college

4. I then made sure that my image was the correct size.
