Preliminary task - Brief

The target audience for my magazine is the new students of Southdowns college, and will include all sorts of information that they may not know about the college, and perhaps useful things like a map, bus times and a guide to moodle. i have had a few ideas for the cover lines such as: moodle madness, delicious cafe snacks and Free handy map!


i also had ideas about the masthead saying SDC and you, your college, or Your SDC. i was also thinking of using a blue type colour, where the target  audience is aimed at neither boy or girl but in fact both, so the main colour cant be too feminine or too manly. I then came up with this to create a final idea of the fonts and colours i would like to use, i didn't want anything too confusing and extravagant as it would only portray that its the same inside.




This specific new students magazine will be published at the very beginning of every September being available from course conformation. however different versions will be available throughout the year like a Christmas, Easter and an exam results special. 

i will be using a medium close up on my cover of a young happy student willing to pose. i will bring my own camera and use in different areas of the college like the LRC and the Fitness centre.i will also use this time to take a few images for my contents page, possibly of the college itself and its fantastic facilities. the colour scheme will be blue white and black.

This magazine will be made in an A4 format with a small cut out handy map for the new students to take out and carry around with them.
