Draft Covers and Contents Pages

1st Edition Cover and Contents

This first edition will focus on the older end of the target demographic covering Uni life, cooking healthy food, exercising and tackling the loneliness that the Uni lifestyle brings sometimes. My first thoughts are to shoot this cover in an educational setting but dressed casually with props such as books and earphones. I will dress Niall to stand out against the background but not too much so it appears a fashion magazine and I will keep the background mildly blurred so the setting is familiar but not a focus. It will have Uni related plugs such as money off of websites for financial help.

2nd Edition Cover and Contents

I will emphasise that this is the second cover by putting a mention underneath the masthead explaining that it has been voted best up-coming lifestyle magazine for men. This cover will focus more so on fashion, mental health and finances that match your fashion. How to dress for a job, how to spend less but look expensive etc. The contents page will follow a reversed structure to the other contents page, with matched typography but an altered layout so that they're more interesting and showcase my skills slightly better.

My font Choice

The font for my masthead was not only chosen by my target audience, but it also embodies the look I'm going for. It is bold with a refined serif edge which appeals to a refined but masculine audience. It is designed to make the younger, budding adults in my demographic feel mature and as though they're growing into adulthood with the help of this magazine.
