My Prelim Front cover & Contents page.

This is my front cover
I have used the QEcollege colours so that people will know what college they are about and they will grab your eys as you see it and represent it with your college colours which will therefore make you buy it for interest of what is going on at your college.
I have used the title 'Freshers Edition' as i know that it is a topic people are interested in and they want to know more about it, and quiet easily can see by my front cover that they will be interested in it as it has a topic in there that interests them.
I thought it would be a good idea to show the main points of the bulletin on the side so without making it hard for people to stop and search for a page they can straight away see what is going on in the bulletin.
I though by showing that they get a free gift inside would entise people even more to buy the magazine and read it.



This is my Contents page.
I have used the same house style as my front cover so you clearly see that it is part of the same magazine.
I have utilised my photograph that i took of mine and my oartners shoes, and have made them an effective border by edditing them in photoshop.



My Prelim Print

 This is my front cover, the title of my magazine is 'Silent College'  and the cover is using the colour scheme to keep a house style throughout the magazine. The colour scheme for my magazine is Purple, Gold and Blue. I have plenty of sell lines around the page which promote different things such as the weeks Bulletin. My main sell line is Freshers fair which is in bold and stands out across the bottom of the page. I have advertised new things in the magazine that i think will be of interest to people. I have a medium close up image,, which will be the main focus of my magazine.I chose the name silent college as i thought it would be on the topic of colleges and would attract people attention straight away as it will include them. I chose my colour scheme as it is the colours of the college i am doing about and they all go well together. My main topic is Freshers fair as i know from asking people that, that is what interests them at this point in time.

My contents page is in order and has appropriate titles and a short and brief description of what the topic in that page is about. The images will show you a few of the top stories and interest in the magazine and i have kept my house style with the colour scheme and using my magazine title at the top of the page again.

Photography Composition

On this magazine there is a medium close up shot of someone. The title is big but in the background so you will always know what magazine it is and all of these magazines will be the same. There are sell lines around the page which all catch your eye in a different way.The main sell is found at the bottom of the page and you an see the main artists they will be talking about in the magazineThe Skyline is the title of the magazine and stands out to anyone who is looking, there is a medium close up of an artist which is to try and make you interested in the magazine and so you can see the image from far away. There are sell lines around the front of the page and around the picture but none of them are covering the medium close up image so you lose the impact. The main sell line is to make you interested in the artist and attract you from the very beginning.

This contents i know is keeping the same house style as the front cover and the rest of the magazine. It tells you the cover story on the front cover and leads you straight there as that may be one of the tings you want to look at straight away. It states that it is a contents page and is in keeping with the rest of the  page. They have used banners to split the topics, and you can see that it has a lot of pages for you to view. It also has an introduction it what it is about on each page.

This contents page is in keeping with the house style of the magazine, and has banners to split up each topic. It has images to show you what the topic will be about and to make it easier for you to choose which one you want read.
