Front Page
On the front cover I was influenced by the example front covers i found because they used a distinguising colour scheme of red and black or red, black and white. I considered this but wanted to be original so i decided to use black as a base colour and green as the primary colour, I thought this was effective because green is a bright and vibrent colour which grabs the attention of the target audience (first year college students). I also took the idea from the NME front cover which uses shapes to distinguish the sell lines i used in the magazine. The font I used was basic because it makes easy to read from long distances and is welcoming to all people/students that are interested.
Contents Page
In the making of the contents page i took influence from both contents paged i conducted research on. I did this by using a main image as the focal point of the page and important topics are listed so people know which page to mainly go to. I laid the page out the way i did so it looked abstract and interesting so readers are likely to continue reading the magazine because it looks interesting. I used as green as the main colour (background) because its catchy and people are more likely to be interested in it.
