weekly update.
i am currently working on my first week of designing my magazine. Im on schedule and still have another 2 hours of lessons this week. I will also be doing a little in my frees to make sure i dont fall behind. Mostly i will be doing research. I will also ask more people from my friend group the questions from my questionnaire so that i can get more insight in what people of my age want from a student magazine.
Potential names for my student magazine
Student Written
Activated Student
Student Blackout
Student Smash
If you vote on which name would appeal to you more and make you want to read the magazine more that would be muchly appriicieated.

Smart Talent magazine.
The colours on this piece are all either brown, white or pink. These are all colours that blend into eachother and look good together,
The mast head is the biggest part on the page and is in white rather than brown or pink. This is so that it will stand out more than the brown in the background. The word 'smart' is turned to the side and infront of the talent. Its written in pink but it has a white shadow effect so that it is still noticable and stands out.
The word 'talent' is written in all capitals and has a silver outline to make it look like its shiny.
The girl on te ront is young, this implys that the magazine is for the younger age group and it will appeal to an auidience at the age of 16-19.
The font of the words 'career' and 'adivice' are written in a weird font. This relates more to the young kids as its sort of a grafitti style.

First Car Magazine
I have looked at the front cover of this magazine and analysed it so that i could find out what a front cover of a student magazine needs and what they look like.
There is a simple colour pallet used in this front cover. They've done this so that its not too bright and over whelming to look at but it still draws attention to the reader. They alternate between the colours black, white and yellow. Sometimes they use a black box with white text and other times they add yellow into it or change it around. This gives the magazine a different feel to it so it doesnt seem like its been repeated.
The cover photo on the front takes up most of the page, this is because the people in the pictures are the main cast from the inbetweeners. This will draw attention to the age group of 17-20 year olds. The age of people that will be buying their first cars. It also makes people pick up the magazine even if they aren't interested in the first car magazine, they want to know about the inbetweeners so they're more likely to look at the magazine.
There is a big masthead on the page, this is so that you can see the name of the magazine easily so if you are looking for the magazine its easy to find and recognise. The writtingis in white because the background is a dark so The white is the easiest to notice as it is opposite of black. This makes the text jump out of the page.

My weekly plan
Week 1
During this week i will start by collecting some already made student magazines. I will then think of an age group that i would like to target for my magazine and then think of a name. After i have found an age group and a name for my magazine i will make a questionaire for the age group i have chosen to fill out.
Week 2
In the second week im going to start making a rough design of my front cover. I'll make a few different designs so that i have a choice at the end. I will then think of what sort of picture i want on my front cover and take some photographs.
Week 3
Throughout week three i have chosen which design i want to use in my final design and will have started to create it. I will get some auidience feed back on my magazine to see if its right and if it appeals to the right age group. I will also start making my contents page in this week.
Week 4
By the end of this week i will have finished my magazine and changed anything that may have been drawn to my attention through the auidience feedback in week three.
