Final Front Cover


This is my final college magazine.
I have four plugs at the top of my magazine which are written in both blue and pink font. I have used these colours because the magazine is a unisex magazine and both male and female students will buy the magazine. The plugs at the top say 'stories', 'pictures', 'games' and 'more...'. I used these as plugs as students may be interested to look at the pictures in the magazine, for example any sports pictures. Or read any stories about the college sports teams or if anyone has done really well in a certain subject and is featured in the magazine.
Underneath the plugs, I have the title of the magazine which is called 'Chatter'. I have used a bold Comic Sans font for the title and the word 'Chatter' is written in both a green and a purple font. I used 'Chatter' as the name of my college magazine as it is a ideal name for a college magazine. And also people go to college to learn and also use it as a good time to 'chatter' to their friends.
Underneath the main headline, I have the issue number in a pink font and the date in a blue font. I used pink and blue again as the magazine is a unisex magazine.
Underneath the strapline I have the main picture which I took of a student surrounded by books and she has a stressed look on her face. The main headline which is written across the main picture says 'Exam Stress?! Top destressing tips inside'. This is written in a purple font, I used this as a main headline because a lot of students at college will be stressing over exams and this article will appeal to them.
I also have three other plugs written on the main picture which are giving infomation on the Halloween party which was at Welly, giving infomation on the NUS cards and the benefits of having one and how to fill out a UCAS application form.
Also on my front cover I have the barcode and the price.
