I took my cover photo with the idea that I wanted to appeal to the playful nature and relaxed feel that I believe my readers could relate to. I edited the picture to make the colours bold but not to brash. I asked my model to smile to fight the convention of a serious expression displayed on most magazines.The other images also are there to give off this happy positive atmosphere as I wanted my magazine to inform and entertain in a way that made my readers feel good rather than critiqued and sad.
I kept all my content and stories relevant to my survey results to keep it looking like a college-produced magazine rather than having it blend into a generic magazine. I was true to all layout conventions so that it was still recognisable as a magazine rather than any other form of media.
I used my colours and fonts as they are not gender specific. Perhaps the pink could be seen as feminine but I felt the yellow would level it out. The variety of fonts were used to give off that not every youth is the same and we should be seen as individuals.
I used links to social media as I know from everyday life, these sites are widely recognisable for my generation and are a successful form of communication.
