PROPOSAL

I am aiming to target my Student magazine at 16-23 year old students who are attending college or university. I will not be aiming my magazine at a certain gender i want my magazine to appeal to men and women. My magazine will be about helping students with money problems, how to save money tips and put local job vacancies in the magazine. I also want to interview students about college/university life for people who are thinking about attending and want a students perspective. 


I have thought of a few relevant titles for the magazine, one is
SL. Which stands for 'Student Life'
UNI. Which stands for 'University'
COLLEGE  life
I think these titles are good examples because they are relevant to the contents that will be in the magazine and, they are simple but to the point. 


I am going to use the font 'Georgia' I also like the fonts 'Verdana' I like these fonts because they are simple but stand out when they are bold. I would publish the magazine once a month, and I would make the magazine relevant to the time it is published, like in April/May I would make the magazine feature revision tips and how to revise features.


I have considered having a student as the main image on the magazine, the photography will be mid-shot of the student in a college or university environment either reading or studying or even smiling at the camera. I would like the mis-en-scene to be quite boring, plus I don't want to capture any unwanted signs or other people in the background. The dimension of the magazine will be A5 size like small magazines so it is easy to fit into handbags and is more easy to store. 


I have considered a number of colour themes for the magazine, I like black, grey and light blue. I have also considered the colour theme changing throughout the different seasons, as in autumn, I would use oranges, burgundy and mustard, to match the colours associated with autumn. I would have the colour scheme on the front cover to match the colour scheme of the contents page.
