I began by looking a several existing student magazines to get an idea of what to include on my front cover. I decided to look at an edition of the magazine First Car, a magazine for young drivers. The most noticeable thing about the magazine cover is the contrast of the black, yellow and white text. This makes it stand out and catch the eye of the potential reader. The masthead is bold and eye catching, being the main white text on the page and the banner of 'Inbetweeners' is spread across the entire page, drawing the eye. All of the text is in capitals which make is stand out. The colour scheme is also similar to that of crime scene or accident scene tape which relates to the field of cars and drivers. The image of the actors from The Inbetweeners is eye catching as the characters are recognisable to a youth audience. The mid shot of the central character is one of the first things you see on the cover and the red of the car door in the long shot of the other characters draws secondary attention to them. High impact words such as 'Killer' are surrounded by a black background. This word is a trigger stimulus and is instantly a focus point due to the danger associated with the word. The strap line at the top of the magazine gives the reader the general outline of the contents of the magazine.
