Mock up of magazine front cover:

This is mock up that i hand drew and then scanned into he computer. As you can see i have stuck to this plan, The only things that i have changed is that my main image has two people on instead of three and i have no pug in the top right hand corner of my front cover.

Contents Page:

This is my contents page for my magazine. It shows what my magazine contains and what pages it is on. I have kept the colour scheme through out the magazine this is so the pages flow on from each other. I have also kept the font the same. I added stripes to the bottom of the page to make it more interesting for the reader and to keep the colour scheme.

Final design:

This is my final magazine front cover. I have stuck to three main colours on my magazine. I choose green as my background colour and black and red for my font colour. I used these colours because they are up to date and funky which will attract my target aundience. Also my straplines apply to all students for example " top 10 revision tips" will attract students and help them with there work. Another one of my straplines is " common room gossip" this concerns all students and will draw them into to buying my magazine.

Second Stage:

This is the second stage to my college magazine front cover. As you can see I've added 3 different strap lines. Ive placed three images onto a Polaroid background this is to make the front cover More exciting and modern. Ive kept the captions short and sweet so its not to boring for the target audience which are students. I also added the masthead "Freshhh" i decided to go with this name for my magazine because its a brand new magazine that has a funky name to relate to students. I exaggerated the word "Freshhh" and added two other "H's" to emphasize the the meaning behind the masthead.

First stage:

This is the first stage for my magazine front cover, this is the main image. It shows two female students at Lordswood sixht form in the common room, the two girls close together show that its a friendly college and the girl on the left smiling shows that's shes happy with her surroundings.

Analysis:

This image shows a pair of legs and a skate board on a green blurred background. The background is blurred to show movement of the skate board and person. This is effective because it makes the image more interesting and create a sense of movement to the photograph.

Magazine sample:

I used photo shop to create this magazine front cover. For the main image i decided to pick a well known celebrity girl band (Girls Aloud) this will attract my target audience which is females over 16. For my masthead i choose to copy a successful magazine title "OK!" the slogan reflects the strap lines and image "first for celebrity news." You can see i kept the colour scheme the same throughout the whole magazine cover. which makes it look professional and realistic.

On photo shop i used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out my images and remove the background from them to add them to my magazine. You can see Ive done this with the image in the top right hand corner of my magzine.
