Layout of a college magazine

. one image in the middle

. title isn't as dramatic

. more writing- smaller fonts- more info

typical magazine layout, full of headlines and story titles, images of celebrities.
lots of colour and cover is crowded.

college magazine doesnt have to be so full, can have space and isnt so in your face.

dont have to use a particular colour scheme

fonts/title/images etc. must in uniform layout

not neccessarilya famous person on front, can be a student/teacher etc.

different from a normal mag like "heat" ...
