1. Inspiration

3. Elle magazine was my inspiration on my college magazine as they always have fun and energetic front covers and I wanted this for my college magazine, also it’s one of the best selling magazines. I like the way they use all different front types some serif, some sans serif and also play around with using bold and italics and different colours, the use of font is what makes the Elle Cover. The Masthead in ‘Elle’ was something I choose not to do as it’s something that is very personal to them and recognizable, I didn’t want to be too alike as mine was a college magazine not a fashion magazine only. The main image is very important to Elle as the model is always looking at the camera, this creates a stronger connection to the buyer and makes the magazine more inviting to buy. My magazine is for female students as I think men and woman have such different tastes especially at the ages of 16-18 that I would be very difficult to use both genders. My magazine isn’t just about educational matters it includes everyday things that girls go through, things girls talk about like clothes, boyfriends but also has more serious matters to do with money and how to survive on tight budgets as this is a major problem for a student.
