This is my first cover, of my Student College magazine. The title isn't very imaginative or creative, so hopefully, I'll have more ideas for names when I have done more practice covers. I chose the name originally, "Student life",as the magazine has information about every day things occurring in a student's college life. I achieved a lot of my ideas for my magazine through personal research. This would include buying magazines, looking through google images, as well as brainstorming my ideas, with a variety of people, such as my parents.
On researching magazine covers, mine contains the usual things you would find, as in a price, image, large title, and a bar code. The bar code isn't copyright, as I've coped the image, and added my own numbers.
There's still a lot that can be done to this as a front cover, possibly changing the background colour, changing the information, the size, and maybe even the image of the person on the front. As a start I think this cover is "okay" but I wouldn't be happy with it as a final cover. I'm glad this is a practice though, as every tweak and alteration I make, can be viewed from start to finish, so hopefully this cover looks more like a college magazine cover, after more research and work.
