Name
We decided to call our College magazine ridge, due to the fact that both Helenswood and William Parker are located of the ridge and the magazine is general news surrounding both sites.
Ideas
I want to use a different colour scheme for each issue that I do that runs throughout the issue. I thought it would make the magazine much more attractive and create something a little different from the same design every issue, which can get boring and make people notice the magazine less.
I also want to incorporate Seasonal themes into our photographs, aiming to choose photos showing images relating to that time of the year such as the start of the football season, landscape pictures, seasonal recipes and a Christmas themed front cover.
We also thought adding a competition aspect to the magazine would make more exciting for the readers.
Values
We hold achievement and success very high within our magazine. We consider strong interest in any aspect of college life something we want to promote, whether it be cookery or sports. We believe that if you are interested in something then it should be celebrated.
Masthead design
We wanted our design to be bold and simple, we didn't want anything that detracted from the whole point of the magazine. But the colour changes with the themes every issue.
Number of pages
We wanted 8 pages, which would comfortably fit everything we needed in.
