2. What would you read in the
magazine?
I asked a group of students from my sixth form
what they would like to find out from my
magazine, my results appeared very uneven. I
have decided to use the more popular options.
The most popular options were upcoming events,
gossip, celebrity news and changes in college. I
would like to relate all of these to local areas. For
example, upcoming events in Brigg/North
Lincolnshire and local changes to different
colleges.
3. Colour Scheme
Again my results were very inconclusive, so
again I have decided to use the more popular
colours chosen by the students.
The main colours were blue, red, navy and white.
I would use these colours for my house style.
They are a good group of colours and I think they
may work well together but not all on the same
issue at the same time.
4. Font Styles
For this I briefed what styles it would be, I gave
them the option of bold, easily readable, colourful
and fancy. After doing this I then created a sheet
with different font styles and also allowed the
students to chose.
The most popular three were large, colourful and
bold. I have then taken this and chose a very
clear and bold font to use for mastheads and
subtitles.
5. Magazine Name
Furthermore I allowed students to write their own
idea of what my magazine should be called it
was a very easy decision as every student wrote
the same.
I decided to stick to what the students had asked
for and called my magazine ‘College Life’
I allowed students to chose there own as with the
other questions there was already a list of
answers. I felt that this may be beneficial to
them.
6. What images would you
like to see?
Most students agreed that they would like to see
images of sixth form students in my magazine,
they also agreed they would like to local areas.
I think this will work well as it will be based
around the North Lincolnshire area and it will
stick to this theme.
My front cover will contain two students from our
sixth form and also I will add a secondary picture
of a local scene.
7. Agony Aunt?
I gave the students an option about whether they
would like to add their own personal opinions. I
had an equal answer for both. I have decided to
add this option. This will allow certain students to
add their own voice.
