Complete College Magazine Plan

This is justs an image showing how my 'College' magazine cover would look like once I actually come to creating it. You can identify that my colour scheme is Red and Blue because I feel that the colours create contrast because Red is connoted to be very fiery, evil and vicious. Whereas, blue is mainly conoted to be very warm, cool and relaxed tone of colour. This means that my target audience (youths in education) can appeal towards the magazine because the two colours really compliment each other. I used some conventions/concepts that you'll see mainly in a music magazine but because it is a college magazine, I have to keep into consideration that the student has to be smiling towards the camera (or away from the camera) and holding some books and a bag because the props are what makes the college magazine be what it is.

Front Cover Plan, so far..

College Magazines v. Music Magazines

Music magazines and College magazines differ from each other and they both have some sort of similarities in which way they can be both expressed to be magazines so that they could appeal to their audience. 

Similarities

• They both have a colour scheme usually it's 2 colours so that the cover could look professional. 
• They both have a barcode 
• They both have a master head line
• They both have an issue number 
• They both have a price
• They both have mode of address.
• Sometimes they use cover stars in College magazine.

Differences

• Mise-en-scene, in music magazines they don't show someone with a educational books to promote education in school.
• Normally, in college magazines, they'll show a student(s) instead of a cover star. 
• On the front cover, you'll mainly see the student (in the college magazine) smiling rather than grinning or having a neutral face/model 'smize' on a music magazine.
