What are your ideas for cover lines?
My ideas doe cover lines is going to relate to both college and also orientated subjects such as fashion. One idea for my cover line is 'Can you handle it?- 10 ways to deal with stress'. I have used a rhetorical question to gain the college students attention and also relatable to the college magazine.
Another idea for my cover line is 'Flash Savings' as this lets the students know there are offers inside. The use of the word flash also means quick, and that they wont be around forever. This highlights the importance of the offer and also suggest that they will use it. Other covers lines are:-

What tile have you decided on and why?
After several ideas I have decided on the title of my college magazine being called 'Perspective'. I came to this conclusion because it was short yet also catchy for the students to remember. I also wanted to called my magazine perspective because the contents within the magazine is very diverse in which everyone will have a different view on. Perspective is also relevant for a mast head because each student will experience college differently hence the idea of 'perspective'.
What fonts do you want to use?
The fonts I would like to include on my front cover and also feature them within the magazine. Serif font would be a good type of font as it different compared to other magazine and also make the magazine aesthetically pleasing. Bold fonts would also appeal to this magazine to highlight main topics and titles within the pages.
An example of my mast Head is 'Perspective'.

What kind of image do you expect to put on the front cover and how will you go about getting this image?
The image I expect to be put onto the front cover is a college student as it relates. This image would have to be a medium close up and show them smiling. I could also use props such as books or a computer.
How frequently would it be published?
My magazine will be published weekly as this keeps important information up to date. The magazine will be published on a monday so that it gives students the chance to pick it up and read it throughout the week.
What are the dimensions of the cover?
The dimensions of the cover would be A5 or A4 so that it is easy for the students to carry it in their bag.
What images/colour would you use on the contents page?
I will included my own images of students around college or out of. Colours would follow a theme so that they are simple and eye grabbing. Themed colours is also good because the magazine created will look sophisticated and professional compared to several colours looking unorganised. My colour themed ideas are found on the initial ideas mind map. The colours I think I will use is Green (Mint), Pink and Dark Blue so appeals to the audience.
