First Mock up

For my magazine tagert audience im focusing on the school sixth form, so i wanted a youth culture approach. I took an image and placed it on a graffiti background. For the main image an everyday student in a jumper. I used this image because teens are usually seen as sporty and like following sporty trends. The model isnt over glamorous, she looks normal like an avergae teenager.
Im also making my issue an media issue which anchors the youth culture theme, becuase teens are mainly influenced by media today.

On the cover i have the school moto as the skyline, i chose a black background and a hard pink to make it stand out. For the masthead i've used the gradient tool to add the multicolour effect. I've used the same colours on the masthead that i've used for my font colour on my logo.
I've used bright colours for my straplines so that they'll stand out against the bright colours of the background.
Overall the use of bright colours represnts the youth culture theme and the graffiti background indicates the teenage target audience.
