Pre-lim planning

Ideas- For my college magazine i am going to make a magazine targeted at the students of Bitterne park sixth form. Its going to be a general college magazine which will include college news, upcoming events and a sport section. I want to use the colours of the college and make the look of the magazine be mature but with some fun as well.

Photo shoots- For my photo shoot i will take photos of a student with some folders in his hand, a pair of headphones with a working area behind him. The photo will be a medium shot and the main image will be making direct address with the camera I have chosen this shot because in most magazines the main picture has a person making direct address to catch the audiences eye. 

Setting/ location- The setting will be in a classroom because it fits the genre of college. This is because a classroom is where work is done. In the class room the walls will have realistic college wall displays, some computers and chairs.

Costumes- For my magazine cover we won't have a costume, the person will be wearing casual clothing. Casual clothing includes: t-shirts, hoodies, jeans, trainers. This fits in with the genre because all students in college wear casual clothing so they will be able to relate to the person on the cover.

Props- In our Magazine the props we will use will be a folder, a book, an apple mac and chairs. This fits in with the genre because they're all things associated with working/college. 

Font and colour- For the colours I am going to use colours which are bright and happy but also match the colour scheme of the college which is yellow and green. I could also use black for the writing because it will compliment the yellow and green. For the font i will use a simple font and maybe a different font for the cover lines/puffs.  The specific fonts i want to use are called

This is the green i will be using for my
pre-lim magazine. The code of the colour
 is 009900.








This is the black i will be using for my
pre-lim magazine. the code for the colour is
231f20.








This is the yellow i will be using for my
pre-lim magazine. the code for the colour is
ffcc00









These two fonts are fonts i found at da font (http://www.dafont.com). I want to use these for my pre-lim but canva (https://www.canva.com) may not have these specific fonts so i will have to find fonts similar.



Font 1







Font 2








When making my magazine in canva i used the font graduate which is similar to the college font above. For the font of the main 'FYI' text i used rubik mono which i prefer to the bold font above. i also used other fonts which were trocchi and permanent marker. For the contents page i used all the same colours but used different fonts. I used Badoni FLF and Montserrat. I kept the Rubik mono the same for the FYI on both the front cover and the contents page.





This is the classroom i will have my photo shoot done in for the front cover of my college magazine.

For my contents page i want to add other images to make it look fun and give the reader an insight of what will be inside the magazines. in my magazine i plan to have a sport section so i thought it would be suitable to have an image reflecting that. here are some ideas.

This is the college magazine i chose to analyse and thought it was very eye catching and fun which is what i want my college magazine to be so i decided to keep it in mind when creating my front cover to achieve a similar effect.
