Preliminary Project Research and Planning

I have found a student magazine called "The Eye" from Lewisham College in London, which I think is effective for a wider college audience because the content is varied.
It includes things such as; music, job oppurtunities, nights out etc.
Some ideas I can take from this magazine are the layout and the colour scheme is really bright and eye-catching. Also, the variety is good as I want my magazine to appeal to different people's interests.

I came up with this audience profile inspired by student magazines I've previously looked at:

• You would rather live off pot noodle for a week than cook your own food
• You freak about not having enough variety of outfits to wear the whole week of college
• You refuse to go a week without updating your iPod
• You feel it is necessary to check your facebook page everytime you log on to a computer
• You claim to shop at Topshop, but somehow half your wardrobe has a Primark label
• A night out down the park with friends translates to your parents as "a girly night in"
