Recently in media the focus has been on creating the college magazine. The front cover and contents page were those that needed to be produced. On the contents page it displays what will be featured in the magazine. I developed this to suit the needs of the readers. The questionnaire helped me to establish an idea of what kind of people the audience would be aiming towards, therefor influencing what went into the magazine. I included college based features, music and fashion, as this reflects the comments that I recieved.
For the cover I researched existing front covers to see which styles existed, aiming to see what would be suitable for my cover. I found out that generally the styles were quite plain with just one figure with either a positive or thoughtful pose on the cover. I thought these covers just blended in a bit so aimed to make mine more colourful to stand out more and make college appear to be more of a fun activity.
With regards to the cover, I displayed the fact that there would be a free chocolate bar on offer. I decided to do this because it was a common trend within my results that free gift would encourage people to buy the magazine. Chocolate was what I chose as it would appeal to both genders, who I am directing my magazine towards, so it wouldnt exclude anyone. The main image on my cover is a medium close up of me, pointing directly at the camera. I believe this is effective because it grabs attention, looking as though I am adressing the potential buyer. It also fits into my title, look forward, as it is about personally looking towards the future and where their studies will take them.
