Media studies!

Ok, for the front page college magazine:

• I would have a picture of a student in the middle of the page. (CU of head and shoulders, get picture at a later date.) -perhaps a large masthead for the magazine, at the bottom of the page.-
• catchy text dotted around the page using page numbers to the correct article about text (eg an article on a sport team that played in another school)
• bright colours used to attract the attention of students.
• targeted at the college students
• using an image of part of the school faded behind the student would add a nice effect to the magazine, perhaps a place where many students relax and hang out to remind them that is just as important to the school as work is.
