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.
