I have chosen to do a Christmas edition of the magazine, as it is coming up to Christmas and the magazine would be published at the end of November.

I chose to use blues, purple and whites for my colour scheme as they are frosty, wintery colours that people will associate with December and the cold, frosty weather. I did think about using a green and red colour scheme, but felt that although these colours are extremely 'Christmasy' and go well together in certain things such as wrapping paper, they could look a little stereotypical and mis-matched for the cover of a magazine.

I have decided to use my sister for the front cover photo as she is 18, which is around the typical age group of college students.
