Final piece


Here is my final college magazine cover, I am very happy with the outcome.
I decided to use this image of my friend jumping because I thought it fitted with the headline ''AIM'' and I thought she represented a happy and outgoing student, this is what I wanted to come through in my image. I also liked the fact that she was in a mid jump because I thought it looked like she had just received good news, like good exam results!
I decided to use the title ''AIM'' because I thought it went well with the whole education theme, students are in education because they have a aim in life, a goal we're they want to end up, and coming to college and getting qualifications gives them a sturdy aim for that goal.
I used a different range of plugs on the front, some of them to do with boosting your education and some of them to do with the funner side of things.
I used ''10 EASY STEPS TO PLAN THE PERFECT ESSAY'' because I thought it's something a lot of students would be interested in, because I know from a personal point of view I struggle with essays and essay planning so if I read this on the front of a magazine I would buy it just for that fact alone!
I used ''Are you making the most out of your NUS?'' because I thought it would interest students because who doesn't like to shop, and who doesn't want to make the most out of discounts, and helping students make the most out of there NUS isn't just good for them it's good for NUS to boost their customers.
Finally, I used ''WYKE CHRISTMAS CONCERT PAGE 6....'' because we're getting closer to Christmas and every ones getting in the Christmas spirit so I thought a lot of students will go to Christmas concerts, and even more will probably go to ones that their friends are in!


Here is my final mock up of my contents page for my final college magazine.

I wanted to keep it simple, so I went with plain colours and text. I think it worked well, it's simple and too the point, easy to understand.

I used most of the plugs I'd used on the front cover to place on the contents, and added a few in explosion style boxes about College fund raiders etc!
