Today I have been continuing creating my magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread for my student magazine, the images below show my magazine pages so far, for my front cover I have included the image of two students , as this clearly shows the fact that this magazine is a student magazine and that it shows how good student life is. Another image I have also included within this front cover is an image of a group of students as this shows the different genders and the different social groups within student life and this also represents the same message of student life, I have faded this image as I wanted to create the effect that this is a separate image and that it is another image representing student life. I have included the features within the magazine at the top of the magazine front cover as these are then not placed over the image and therefore the image can be seen clearly.

At the beginning of the week I decided to change the layout of my Contents Page, this is because from my research into existing magazine contents pages the most eye catching contents pages had each of the magazines contents under headings, such as News, Features and Regulars. Therefore I rearranged my layout and also from my analyses of magazine contents pages I found the layout was eye catching and the images were clear and that the contents layout was based around the images. I have therefore included a main image at the top of the contents page and have included other various images related to the features within the magazine and I have placed the different features under certain sections within the headings such as 'Features', this then makes it easier to read and find the feature you want to read in the magazine. For this design of the contents page I will ask for feedback from the target audience and ask how they think I can improve the contents page.

Below shows my progress within making a double page spread for my student magazine, this shows how from my initial sketch I have kept to this sketch and included the main feature in the middle of the double page spread of the title in the centre with images related to the article of student life around the title. The images which I have placed on this double page spread represent student life and are clearly related to the article, within the article I have discussed student social life, education and issues surrounding students. I have also included an interview with a student about the topics I have discussed in the article and I am also writing some advice for students on what to do after college and university, their next steps for the future.
Today I have also been shown how to create columns and guidelines for text within the double page spread, this will prevent the text going off the page, therefore I will need to ensure the double page spread I am creating has the same sized columns next to each other so this looks professional.
