My Brief and Initial Ideas

My brief is to design a College magazine that includes original images only and a mock up contents page.

Additionally, my front cover needs to include key elements such as: a main image; to attract my main target audience - teenagers. A masthead; representing my magazine as a whole. Sell lines; advertising eye catching stories inside the magazine itself. A Skyline; placed at the top of  my magazine, informing my target audience the issue number of the magazine. In addition my magazine also needs to include a Barcode, the date of issue, the price of the magazine; in bold, mainly so the audience are straight away attracted to the cheap price of the magazine. The price of the magazine is going to be placed in the top left corner, this is so the target audience will be able to spot the cheap price however the magazine is stacked on the shelfs. Finally, my College magazine is going to have a Strapline; something catchy so my audience will remember it.
