My magazine is called 'Fresh', i chose this name as i starting thinking of us being freshies, so i just shortened the word down to fresh, so people still understand what it means, however, it has almost a double meaning, as fresh kind of makes you think of some flash and new, which my magazine is!

The colour scheme i used consisted of a orange, red and a dark gray colour, the reason i chose these colours is because i see the colours as being modern, bright and attractive when combined together, it catches readers eyes, making them more likely to pick up and read the magazine, the colours are both bright and bold, which contrasts against the dark grey background i selected.

The way i chose to layout the magazine is in order to attract the readers attention to the main sell points, as that's considered to be the article readers would most wish to read about, i did this by placing the the smaller sell points around the main, which shows its importance. However, in order to attract the readers attention to the smaller sell points i placed them within banner like shapes, coloured in orange, which also will attract the readers attention, and also give the magazine more of an organised and professional feel.

All the contents were based around college life, however, with a greater aim towards the 'freshies' of QE. Within the contents is content i believe that the readers will find interesting and also articles they may be able to recieve advice or help from. The articles range from 'Find the way around your day' to 'Guide to girls', i believe its good to have a lot of variety in the content, in order to appeal to a more varied audience.

Ive chosen to shoot the character in a position that gives the reader a view from his side, and can quite clearly tell that he's gesturing to someone, however, the angle makes it so you cant see who he's doing it to, allowing us to get away with having a single person in the shot. Making the shot medium allows the reader to see enough detail without it being a close up, and far enough away to see the upper half of the persons body.

The font size i used is relevant to the importance of the sell point, for example, the main sell point is in a large font, the masthead is even bigger and in a font of its own, as its the title of the magazine and will remain the same through every issue.
