College magazine research

This is an example college magazine of King Edward VI college in Stourbridge. On the cover, there isn't a splash, however there are five cover lines about things both in and out of college. The cover image bleeds to the edge of the page, and the image connotes a relaxed feel as the girl has her chin resting on her hand. This connotes that the college has a friendly atmosphere and isn't stressful. The cover line font is serif yet is slightly curvy, connoting the formal yet youthful feel. The font beneath the titles is sans serif. 

This is the contents page of King Ed's magazine. It has a clear layout yet is aesthetically pleasing.  The 'a word from your editor' connotes formality, yet the font of the contents connotes a more youthful feel, creating a balance between the two. The bright colours against the neutral background connotes warmth as the colours themselves are associated with warmth.
