The colour scheme I will be using is dark and light Blues, dark medium purple and lastly white. Each one will be used differently in my college magazine and will alternate throughout.

For the contents I am going to adapt more which will be used in my magazine will be discounts and vouchers, reviews, and technology reviews. This because in the audience questionnaire I created, the majority of the response’s I was given stated they wanted;

Due to the audience being all first year students I have set the main article/anchorage on the first year of college. This will grab the student’s attention as this is dedicated to them.

Shopping was also a main interest in the responses. I will put together and article about style ideas and fashion trends used by others.

People would also like to see a list of opportunities to get out and enjoy a night out with friends. A discounts page would suit this as well as offers

For shopping. This could include a page where I can create a page of useful voucher and codes to use.

Sports pages would also be in the magazine. Reason for this being, some of the audience like to be active and take part in sports events.

Puzzles quizzes and competition will also be in the magazine. These are for people who may not be interested in the shopping and fashion pages, a competition page where prizes can be won. This would be able to draw potential readers in.
