Flat Plan

Cover

For my front cover I have decided to use three colours, purple, yellow and black. I chose these colours because those are the main colours for the school and these colours are normally neutral colours and appeal to both genders. This magazine is mostly targeted at 16 - 18 year olds so I thought the mast head should be called 'Varsity Years' because this is what a majority of the audience are aiming for, university, when they will enter thier 'Varsity Years'. I will use the Varsity Font for the mast head to go with the title. I have positioned my sell lines in this way to make them clearer for the reader, that way they can read them all without difficulty and also it makes them stand out more if they are not surrounding the image. With the image and the sell lines separated it's easier for both to be seen clearer whereas if the sell lines were surrounding the image, they could easily overshadow the image or vice versa. The main sell line has the biggest writing to attract the reader and it is also in the most eye catching colour. The rest of the sell lines are slightly smaller than the main sell line to make it stand out more. I have a banner advertising cheap school supplies and sports equipment which should appeal to the male and female target audience because everyone will need school supplies. The sell lines advertise various things that again apply to both genders and also the target ages of the audience. 

Contents Page

The colour scheme for the contents page is the same as the colours for the cover. This is to show that the magazine has a theme to it. The main title for the contents page will use the same font as the mast head on the cover page. This is also to show the consistant theme throughout the magazine. I have used little images around the page that relate to various articles. These are to grab the audience to want to know more about the article so they find the page and read it.
