The masthead i have chosen is 'BURST' it represents the college in a positive light,suggesting Wyke is a college bursting with opportunity to do well and succeed, this is also shown in the sub-masthead situated above the title. The colours of my masthead will be very bold and eye-catching, avoiding all dark and dull colours. The whole word is clearly visible ans the lettering is very clear to the reader. I have designed the letters of 'burst' to not quite fit in the designated space (as if it is 'bursting' out), this a creative design idea of the word itself and a reflective idea of the college image I am trying to portray.
In the top right hand corner i have shown how i want my images laying out. Each of the hoodies will overlap the next, including prices to show that they are affordable, as seen in the 'LOOK' magazine. I will use a white background for this so that the jumpers appear bolder, brighter and sharper.
I have attempted to draw my main image, I have decided to use a science theme. I will ask a student to pose as a stereo-typical scientist, dressed in a lab coat and safety goggles, whilst holding a test tube which will contain some solution. Similarly to other magazines the main headline is cutting into and overlapping the image. The test tube is placed inside the 'O' of the word 'solution', this is an effective play on words as the test tube contains solution, which is inside the word solution. The headline is very Representative and reflective pun of the illustrated image.
The background I am going to use will simply be the background of my main photo, this will be a science laboratory to continue with my theme and create further authenticity.
The cover will follow a colour scheme, the additional text will consist of just two colours as seen in previously analysed magazine overs. However the main head line will contrast with the other text to make it appear more dominant over the rest, likewise with the masthead.
I have included four sub-headings, (in the real cover the font will be much larger) each accompanied with a small image that represents the featured story. These stories cover a range of different areas, the first being sporting achievement featuring a story titled 'A striking Success' focusing on the area of a recent football match the college took part in. I think the title is very inventive and a creative way to advertise.
The second sub-heading features a charity event hosted by the college. This gives a very positive outlook as it shows the college is interested in helping those less fortunate. The event advertised is a cat walk which students will take an interest in because students generally like fashion. I came up with the heading, 'Strut your stuff', it's alliterative, reflective and very catchy.
The 'A Scary Sight' cover story is a fun way to attract students to want to read the magazine as most enjoy looking at photo's and because the photo's will be featuring their college peers attending a college fancy dress it is more likely they will be eager to view these pictures.
The 'Basket Ball for Beginners' offers something for new learners or those who want to try something different. By promoting new courses it represents the positive outlook i am trying to illustrate and opportunity.
The plug promises a clear benefit to every reader. This attracts the target audience because people like to know when they can gain from things. Students will want to read the magazine if they know they are at an advantage of getting student discount with this magazine. I will display this plug in bright and contrasting colours to make it stand out and catch the eye of the reader.
Across the bottom of the cover i have bullet pointed the main features of the magazine content similarly to the 'School Sport' magazine I have previously analysed. This is just an additional way to emphasise the content, to persuade the reader to want to buy and read it.
