Design notes- college magazine
Before i can make my college magazine i need to do some research and planning, to do this i am going to look at already existing college magazines. I need to choose a colour scheme and decide what i will be writing about in my magazine, stories etc. I also need an overall design style.
Here are some past magazines which i have found using Google images.
I've decided to call my magazine, 'Prior Passion Fruit' and i am using a slogan 'One of your five a day', i think this will be a good name as it makes the magazine sound like an everyday essential, that will keep the students on track.
The colour scheme will be neautral, green, yellow, blue and pink, all pastel colours as this fits in with the name of my magazine as been healthy.
this will be the summer, socializing article, as the colours and name also fit in with the summer feeling, and it willl all have a refreshing summer vibe.
