Initial ideas

House Style

My colour scheme will be blue on blue or yellow on black as i think these colours will stand out and catch your eye in a group of magazines. The black or dark colour would be the background where the yellow would pop out from it. The yellow in the colour scheme would be used for the headlines and coverlines, whereas white will be used for the main text throughout the magazine.

Mode of address

I will be using a more laid back cover image rather than a posed shot as i think it looks more natural and can relate to a younger audience. This combined with the font style and colour scheme will create more of a student themed magazine.

Central image

For my central image i will attempt an image with something more recent, such as students from Ludlow College, casually walking or sitting at lunch time, to portray a laid back image.

Content

For the content of the magazine i will include things such as, a student survival guide, to help with the stresses of student life. A media page for things like music, movies and games, as i think these are a big factor in students lives. I will also conduct an interview with someone relevant to student life.

Use of Language

For my use of language i intend to write it in a very informal manner, using words that a student would use in their every day lives. I want parts of the magazine to be fun to read, so providing joke language and comparing something to someone totally ridiculous, would get the reader enjoying the magazine.

Colours and fonts

A darker background with yellow headlines and cover lines, with white as the main text.
