Cover and Contents

This is the cover for our college magazine: 'Venture'. We wanted the magazine to have a mature yet youthful feel, so we used serif font for the masthead and made it white to connote the mature feel we wanted. Then we used bright colours and sans serif font for the coverlines to connote the youthful feel we wanted as well. We wanted the coverlines to also connote the mature yet youthful atmosphere to the magazine by being a mixture of more academic stories, such as 'UCAS application: Is yours good enough?', while coverlines like 'new music and new artists' show that the magazine is about entertainment as well as academia. 

This is the contents layout for our college magazine. We looked at contents pages from numerous magazines and found a layout that we liked and wanted to take inspiration from. We wanted the layout to be more formal and ordered rather than scattered, again connoting the maturity we wanted our magazine to have.
