contents page of my magazine

The contents for my college magazine is basic, neat, and simple. I tried to prevent it from getting too crowded, and I used pictures the break up the text. The have used the same model from the front screen on my contents page as well, as I would like to feature some of the same people continuously. I have used the same font with the masthead as is used on the front cover, to make it look professional.

college magazine cover

This is a final design for my magazine. it is empty, but I wanted to make sure It wasn't overcrowded. Most magazines these days either go to one extreme or the other with too much writing or not enough. I wanted to make sure that this was not boring to the reader who afterall is going to be a student. so that would mean, keeping the writing on the front cover on the 'down low'. I only wanted to feature a few point on the front age about what is being featured inside it as a wanted people to want to read mor and find out what its all about. The model on the front page is a odel ive used on more than one occasion, but i love working with her as she seems a very interesting person to display.

Masthead

The mast head to my magazine is big and bulky so that it is clear, but it also needs to be like this so that it is easily recognisable. I have put a border around the writing to make it individual to other magazine fonts, as I don't want it to be the same... we want to make it stand out.

Magazine analysis #3

I love this magazine design as it is completely unique to any other I've seen before. Unlike other designer magazines with a white background to contrast the model in the centre of the page, It has more than one model and they appear with landscaping behind them. The magazine name is also very unique and one that you would not get confused with any other. The only criticism would be that the name of the magazine isn't easy to read through the lines cutting through it, but readers farmiliar with the magazine will already know the name of it. the white writing appearing at the top of the page are very elegant and feminine which suits the topic of the magazine.

Magazine analysis #2

This Picture is typically what you would expect to see on the front cover of a design/style/culture magazine,There is one person featured as the main attraction, and there is not much writing featured on the main page either. I love the picture and the style of the model and the fact that the colour scheme of the black and white has been carried through to the font colour and box colour also on the front page. The barcode in the corner of the page also gives magazines a very authentic look which is something I should take notice of.

College Magazine analysis #2

this college magazine personallu steps away fro the normal expected design for a college magazine, and more towards a fassion, gossip magazine. This is actaually a university agazine, but I like the way that there is one person as a main focus. The writing is kept to a minimum which I also like, because the magazine doesn't look boring. the fact that there are only a few selected topics on the front cover is interesting as it shows what they writers prioritise, and what they think students would be interested in. I like the way the cover is not cluttered, which is something that I have done and taken into account when designing my own magazine.

College Magazine analysis #1

I like this design as it is colourful and eye catching which is exactly the kind of thing that would be needed on a college magazine (other than the content of the magazine). it is a little overcrowded for my liking, and especially for a front page. It contains more writing than I would put on my front cover as it makes it seem more boring, and if college students see a magazine with paragraph after paragraph of writing on the cover, personally as a student, I would not be interested.  I can see that there is news on the front cover about apple, and technology like this is definately something that i would consider putting in my college magazine. As students these days are all about who has the coolest phones and ipads.  

Magazine analysis #1

I like the blandness of this front cover..it may not suit everyone's taste as it isn't informative, or busy, but I like the fact that it is concentrating on one thing, The title below is relevant to the image and the dark background makes the image stand out more

Back of my CD cover

Reader profile for college magazine

This is my reader profile for my Magazine. It basically shows the wide range of interests that the readers (college students) would be interested in, and the kind of thing, that would be featured and included in my college magazine.

CD front cover

This is my CD cover. I chose a model that would stand out as being bold, out there and generally cool. the red hair of the model (laura lovejoy)expecially suits the red in the effects, and I wanted for the cover, to not only be taken seriously (hense the black and white) but not be boring. I used this font because the broken up lines intreagued me, and the fragile look suits the calm feel. I didn't want a font that was blocky, and bold, because it seems to be to common these days.

mood board for CD cover

The person featured in this board, has an indie style, which is the genre My music is aimed at. the colours are vibrant but not tacky, and the night street car lights are to bring in a feel of the kind of  atmospere that the people the aimed at, would be about in.
