flat plans

I am aiming my magazine at college students that are willing to try new things, take an interest in things they have never tried and are open to enjoy college activities. All ages and genders are accepted, I want to make my magazine unisex and very public.

The typical content of my magazine will be getting students to endure in different events around the college.

I have chosen the title Y.e.s (young evolving social) because it is different and has a slogan, it is less boring than just plain, one meaning title. I rejected the names, SDC, because the name sound a little inappropriate and short, and College mag, because it was too much of an obvious name.

Ideas for cover lines I decided ‘NEW BUSSES! – Has first bus service finally improved?’ ‘DON’T MISS! – Exciting new events this year.’ ‘ALL NEW! – College website design and how it works.’ ‘THIS YEAR! – 2013 A level results’

For ‘Y.E.S’ I want to use a formal looking serif font in white on a black background, for the rest of the text I want a san serif font that still looks formal.

I want the magazine to be weekly, one magazine from Monday to Friday all year round, showing new college activities and events every week. So all seasons of the year!

I want my front image to be a student looking very happy to be in college enjoying some sort of activity, e.g sitting at a computer, reading a book, doing a sport, I will ask my friends to pose for this image.

My magazine would be around A5 in size making it not too much hassle for student to pick up and take away with them, as many students already have bags full of A4 books, and another would just add to the bother so I feel it would be ignored.

For my contents page I want to carry on the colour scheme of my front cover, adding images of students enjoying each other’s company, and trips and activities.
