College Magazine cover and contents ideas and inspiration

I have decided to call my magazine College Life. I chose this name because it is easy to remember and fits in with the style of magazine I’m aiming for. This is a general theme. I’d like my magazine to be suitable for anyone who attends the college it is made for. Here’s some inspiration and idea’s I came up to help me decide my magazine name and style. There’s also some magazine’s that inspired me with some of there features. These I’d like to include in my magazine. I also include some potential medium close up images and which one I decide to use for my magazine.

Here I like the slanted text used for the main cover line. I’d like to use this effect on my magazine front cover.

I like how this magazine contents uses pictures for a preview of the articles. I also like how they put the page number of the article over the picture.

I like how this magazine cover has a date line on the left hand side under the masthead. This would be a good place to put a dateline on my magazine.

I have decided to use number 2 as my medium close up image. I like the colours and I think it will go well on the front of my magazine.
