First Draft Of Cover


       My first draft of the cover. I came about the name almost instantly, "WM" meaning "Wyke Mag". It was also very easy to create a masthead as i just used the "W" from the wyke college logo, copied it, and flipped the copy upside down to create an "M".
       For the slogan I used an informal type phrase; "It's a college thing". It is also like a phrase often used by teenagers; "It's a boy thing" or "It's a girl thing" to show that whatever the person has done is something commonly done by a boy/girl. 
       For my first draft I decided to use a picture I had taken of the college Librarian. I took image firstly for my photography work, but I thought it might work well as a main image for now. However I think that students would relate to the magazine more if an actual student was on the cover instead of the librarian.
       I decided to charge 20p for the magazine as it is not a sum of money that is unaffordable for college students and it would also bring some extra funds to the college.
