DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
• I chose this magazine cover due to the fact it is very simple and isn’t overcrowded like many magazine articles which would turn me off of buying it.
• It has the main image, the masthead, the main article and the sponsor.
• It has an artist on the front image who is very popular at this moment in time.
• The main article and image are related to the best festivals of 2010 which are mostly aimed at students

College Magazine Research • I chose this magazine cover due to
the fact it is very simple and has only a few features to the main cover yet it looks interesting. It has the main image, the masthead and the main article.
• It has a live picture of a lead singer of a popular band which would attract customers that listen to that genre of music.
• The main article and image are related to the best festivals of 2010 which are mostly aimed at students and has a ‘media pack’ to the festivals which people would believe help them at the festivals.
This font is Sans Serif and is similar to the one I used for the ‘Student’ part of my masthead
This font is eXO2 Stencil and looks very edgy and could appeal to the younger audience because it is a lot like graffiti art.
This font is Serif. I believe it looks a little bit too formal for my magazine.

Scanned Flatplan of my College Magazine design
This is the original image that I used for the front cover. It is an original medium close of my friend, Katheryn smoking and this subject is the lead
article for my magazine. The actual cigarette is the main
subject of the lead article and is centred to make the
audience believe it to be important.
Original medium close up image
I started with this medium close up shot as the background of my front cover

I then copied, pasted, cropped and coloured this title from dafont.com as half of my masthead
I also did the same this part of the mast head as the first part.

I added this competition at the bottom of the page
