Attached is my magazine front cover, contents page and flat plan. 

For my magazine I wanted a professional looking title so I took the sunderland college logo off the internet and used that as my magazine masthead. i also wanted to show that it is a monthly magazine so I added the word 'monthly' underneath the title. the image I used is a picture of some of two of my friends from college who were standing in the corridor, this is effective because people who know them will pick up the magazine so they can see them on it. I chose to have the writing on my cover to be a shade of blue because it is more appealing than just plain black and white writing. I put the stories in bold text because it will stand out more and therefore people will find it attractive because it will stick out and they will want to read more about the titles. For the contents page I included the stories and the pages they were on so that the readers can navigate through the magazine easily. on the front cover I also included how get in touch with the college via social networking sites. I learned from the process how to use different elements of photoshop to construct a front cover.

Things a college magazine should be/include are:


A contents page to let the readers know what is included in the magazine and what page they will find things on, for example if they are looking for the news bulletin then they would look at the contents page to find out what page the news bulletin is on.

An attractive cover so it will appeal to the selected audience which is students, staff and parents. it should also include language which the students, staff and parents can understand and relate to.

The magazine should also include important information about things that are happening in the college, such as revision sessions or extra curricular activities.

At the start of the academic year the magazine could also include a map of the campus to help new students find their way around the building and get to their classes without getting lost.

Also the magazine should be free so that the students, parents and staff can read the magazine and find out information or read it leisurely free of charge. This also encourages reading among students and is keeping their brains active.

The magazine should also include a section where students can find out contact details or where to go if they have a query for example if they wanted to change course then they would need to go to the learning centre and get an amendment form and fill it out with a member of staff. The magazine should also include images to anchor the text and make the text more understandable for the readers.
