Me and my partner started the work by putting all our ideas down on a sheet of paper and thinking about which stuck and which were not very good. We decided to target a young male audience who are currently going through college. The magazine name we chose was 'Grades 'N' Babes', we though this was quite catchy and would appeal to the market we were aiming for. A lot of the magazines we looked at for research seemed to come across as quite 'nerdy' and not at all cool. We wanted to change this image whilst still including valuable information for students. We conquered this by saying that we would include good tips for getting girls and looking good in college. When asking people what they thought about these ideas, the response was generally a good one.
Once we had decided on the name and focus of the magazine, we started thinking about how to get out MCU and coverline photos included in the layout. This resulted in off-setting the main image slightly to the left and filling up the page with writing and coverlines to show that the magazine is worth the price of £1.50 and is full of great ideas for college! (See pictures on left.) I think we fulfilled our hopes with the plans and are ready to start photographing and editing the front page.
