Magazine Content Research

Before I start to design my own student magazine, I have decided to do some background research. Firstly, I analysed the cover of a previously made student magazine that I found on the internet. The main heading on the school magazine is 'What's been going on in the CPD?' It's issue 7 Winter 2007 and the teaser featured is 'Look who's wearing it pink'. There are also sell lines such as 'The opening of a new school of art'. I also did an excercise in class where we analysed magazines to increase our overall awareness about audience, genre, use of colours and other factors that are relevent when designing a magazine. I found this evidence very useful and now feel as though I am on my way and ready to create my very own student magazine cover.
