College Magazine

Preliminary Task Evaluation
For my preliminary task I had to design the front cover and contents page to a college magazine that would appeal to students and included everything they would want to see. To find out what they wanted I first made a questionnaire with questions such as: do you read the college magazine & why? What would you like to see in the magazine and how much would you pay etc. after I gathered my results I thought of a design that would attract the students to buying and reading it.
On the front cover I had each topic that the students wanted in the magazine. I put these in the distinct east Norfolk colours; blue and orange. This is so the students would see it was for their college and feel they can relate to what is inside.
The model on the front cover is in a mid shot holding folders and smiling. She holding the folders to show the college is hard working and focused but she is smiling to show it is fun at the same time.
I named my magazine ‘ENORF’ as it is a magazine for East Norfolk and this is the abbreviated version of the words.
The stars or flashes around the headings of what is in the magazine draws you in and makes you read it.
For my contents page I stuck to the East Norfolk colours. I also added a ‘note from editor’ as while researching I noticed most other magazines include this.
