College Magazine - Prior News

Front Cover

On the front cover of my magazine i have incorporated a photograph of two students stood behind a grave stone, i have done this because the magazine is aimed at college students so the audience will easily relate to the subjects on the front cover. The tombstone was used because it is the Halloween edition of the magazine and gravestones are closely associated to the holiday.
I have used three main colours for the front page; Blue, orange and white. I have used these because the colours work well together and stand out on the page.
The name of the magazine has been made very large on the page which makes it eye catching and to ensure the name is not forgotten by its audience easily.




Contents Page

For my contents page i have continued the Halloween theme by using a photograph of a row of tombstones for the background image. I have also continued to use the same three main colours from the front page to make a sense of familiarity. I have also used photographs to give more detail about what will be featured in the magazine.

Music Magazine Questionare

In order to decide key factors about the music magazine that I will be designing I have created a questionnaire to give to a selected audience. I had decided to give my questionnaire to students at my college because the magazine that I will be creating will be aimed at people aged 16 - 18.


This is a print-screen of the  questions that were presented to students; my results showed that most people's favorite music genre is Rock and liked music such as Muse, Paramore, Linkin Park and The Killers. This information then made me decide to create a Rock music magazine.
