College Magazine Proposal

Who are you aiming your magazine at specifically? 

My magazine is specifically directed towards college students. It's a college magazine which would let college students know whats going on around their college, it would give them another way of contacting their college as the magazine has it's details on the contents page, it would also advise them as well as giving them information.

What will your magazine be about?

My magazine would be about the college it's representing specifically, it would also have information about things happening in college that the students may want to know like: enrichment opportunities and what trips are going to held for what subjects and how much. It would also give advise on stuff like revision and coursework.

What are your ideas for cover lines? 

My main ideas for cover lines were stuff like:
. Enrichment Opportunities
. College Trip Schedules
. Tips for revison
. How to keep up on your coursework

This was because these are the things that are most likely going to appeal to college students, especially if they really need help, or would love to go on a trip and have more exciting things to do when they don't have class.

What title have you decided on a why? 

I decided to make my main title for the magazine 'College Days' as it shows that the magazine is a college magazine, it also gives the impression that my target audience is college students, which is exactly what I was going for. I ws going to go for something like 'College Times', or 'College Weekly' but these aren't that unique and something most people would pick.

What fonts did you want to use?

I wasn't exactly sure to begin with, I did like the idea of 'Avenir Black.' In the end I just went with fonts that went with the whole idea of the magazine and made it look appealing as well as eye-catching.

When in the year will it be published? 

My magazine would be a seasonal magazine so you could get it all year around, and the colours, pictures etc would change depending on the time of year each issue came out.

What kind of image do you expect to put on the front cover and how will you go about this? 

For my front cover I thought an image of a college students standing in front of the college holding college books would be a good cover as it represents the magazine well. When it came to getting the picture I just asked a fellow student I they'd happily be on the cover of my magazine.

How frequently would it be published? 

My magazine would be published every week, this is so every issue has information from the past week that the students may need or want to know about. This is also so the students are updated regularly on whats going on and on things that may be happening in the future that.

What images colours would you use on the contents page?

I'd use the same colours so that the theme continues on to the contents page. For pictures I'd make sure that they related to the articles within the magazine. For example, if there was an article about students getting the best grades in a certain amount of years. One of the pictures could be of a student holding up their grade sheet with a proud smile on their face.
