Photography For Student Magazine Cover
I chose the first picture to be the cover of my magazine. It has a simple white background, this i felt would be better than a backdrop with alot of detail as it won't distract the eye from the cover lines and masthead. Further more it gave flexibility when choosing colours for my magazine. Also, Darcy is centred well in the picture. There is room for coverlines to be on the left, creating a left third. This will make my magazine cover look realistic. Friday 23 November 2012

Planning: Proposal For College Magazine. Preliminary Task: Brief
Who are you
aiming your magazine at specificly?
Students of Southdowns college
What will your
magazine be about?
Current news with the college, opertunities
such as enrichment's achievements with students and information about
universities. Also information with exams and different revision techniques. And lastly social events such as festivals, gigs, and local events.
What are your
ideas for cover lines?
‘UCAS chart inside! Which uni is for you?’
‘Revision guides and techniques!’
‘New advice area for students, sex,
studying, relationships and career help now available’
‘This year’s festivals! How to have fun,

Are
you going to have a tag line? If so what could it be?
‘Helping you
through’
‘All you need
for a healthy college lifestyle’
When
in the year will it be published?
Before the
end of year, around June. This way I can talk about social activities for
summer including festivals and tips to stay safe. And also include revision
advice and exam dates.
What
kind of image will be on the front cover?
A picture of
one of my class mates, against a colourful wall that may be good for lighting
and represent summer. They will also be wearing their student id/have it on
show and be holding books or folders to show she/he’s a student. I will be
using my own photography to achieve this.
How
frequently would the magazine be published?
Every month,
it’ll be sold around the college café’s and available to buy in the library and
around the college generally. This way it will not be too frequent and students
won’t get bored with it. Also each issue will then be specifically themed for the
season/month it is released in.
What
dimensions for the cover?
Simple A4 so
it’s easy to read and eye grabbing. It’ll also fit into the average college
back easily
What
images/colour will you use on the contents page
Greens, blues and maybe a little pink. These must be bold colours so the text is
easy to read, these colours also don’t bled well so they can out line different
subjects in the contents page. Also they appeal to both genders and represent
summer.
