Mast head name - College Magazine

Planning for the front cover:

The first thing when thinking how I want my magazine, is to think of a mast head.  As it is aimed at collage student I want it to connect with education at Wyke and learning. I also want it to be aimed at a younger audience therefore I want it to still connect to the teenage audience so it needs to be modern.

Wired:  I thought that wired would be an appropriate name for my collage magazine, it would represent the students in Wyke. They are ‘tune in’ in their lessons and involve themselves. They are wired up. It reflects more the education in the collage. My slogan would be ‘get tuned in’ it shows that Wyke wants people to achieve, do well and to go far.

Connected:  Connected gives a different view to Wyke. That Wyke connects lots of different people in the collage and it helps people to find a new path to a good future. If I used this name the slogan would be ‘bringing people together’ this gives the ideology of Wyke is to have a friendly environment that they want everyone to get along.

YOU -   I thought you would be a good name as when you are in collage you make your own choices and its only you who can determined you own future. It gives the ideology that the students in the collage have their own independence and your success is down to you. My slogan would be YOURS. OWN IT. USE IT. Its snappy and it uses repetition to make the words more powerful. It also means that the collage is yours use it to your best potential and get the most out of it that you can.  The letters of the words also spell out YOU.

I then decided the name I was going to choose for my magazine. I chose YOU as I thought this would appeal to my target audience more as it is more interactive with them and it is directly aimed at them ‘you’.  I thought it was very appropriate as its showing that there future is in their own hands and they are free to do what they want although the way to get far in life is to use collage and its facilities, get on with your work and you will succeed. Also in my magazine i want it to be about the collage students and what is going on within the collage so this name would also be appropriate as the articles would be about YOU.
