07 College magazine development

The college magazine will be developed in order to create my music magazine. As the audience is different they will be into different things therefor the house style needs to be different. The audience for the college magazine was much more educational as it contained activities to do with the college. In contrast to this the music magazine was for fun which meant it was activities for readers to do in their leisure time based on what they're interested in, music. For this reason the college magazine had to be much more formal but whilst still maintaining the interest of the young audience, however the music magazine will enable me to be less formal. That means that the language used in the two magazines differs, with the music magazine being more chatty and informal. My aim was to do this so that it creates a friendlier atmosphere for the music fans.
The colours used in the magazines will be developed to a style which suits the audience in the music magazine as it is much more specialised. The colours I used in the college magazine were bright red, green and yellow. This created a vibrant and fresh effect that would appeal to alot of people. However as the audience was more defined in the music magazine it enabled me to suit the mood of the music which is rock and slightly darker. For this reason I used complimenting warm colours such as orange and red, complimented with the main colour of black, creating a fiery colour scheme.
My magazine has the advantage that it is suitable for both males and females, so as it appeals to both genders the market for my magazine will be larger.
