Student Magazine First Draft

• I have used blue for the majority of the colours on this magazine draft including the masthead and cover lines as I think the colours go well with the pale background but they also stand out as the boldness catches the eye of the audience.
• I have also used the idea of the theory that our eyes go from the top left corner to the bottom right, which is where my model is stood, she is facing the camera and making direct eye contact, this also addresses the audience and focuses their attention.
• I have used short sentences and subtle cover lines and used rhetorical questions to appeal to the audience and make them want to find out more, therefore reading the contents of the magazine.
• I have used a puff/plug in a slightly lighter shade of blue with the bold and contrasting colour of red and the capital letters used in the word 'FREE'. I have used red as it is the first colour our eyes pick up and the word 'free' has been proven to attract the most attention, this will therefore draw the target market in.
• I am not quite yet finished with this magazine cover, I am planning of adding more colours such as red to attract more attention to the product, I also need to re-position some of the cover lines to create more space.
