Flat Plans

I plan to make my college magazine appeal more to the students. I will give my magazine cover an typical layout. I will also use and American college style font face which will give the magazine a college feel, without making it feel to professional. The images I will use won’t have too overpowering colours, this is because bright colours can distract the reader from the main focus of the cover which will be the cover story. The images I will have on the cover is the Sussex Downs logo, this is so people will associate the magazine with the college, a picture of a student, this image will go with my main flash and I will have a coloured background image that my whole cover will be placed on top of. The reason I have chosen to use a background colour is because it will help make the cover look interesting. I will include a strap line on my cover too. I will keep writing minimalistic and try to only use key words. I will also give my contents page an unusual layout. This will work well with my front cover and run as a theme throughout the whole magazine.
