Flat plan for college magazine

COLLEGE MAGAZINE EXAMPLE

tThis college magazine contains the main conventions like a masthead, barcode, coverlines and a focal image. Also, the magazine consists of three colours - blue, black and gold. These colour are very simplistic, giving off a professional appeal. However, the difference between a college magazine and a conventional magazine is that the student that is featured in it is presented as happy and studious. This is to help promote the idea that school is good and can be enjoyable. Furthermore, coverlines are all to do with education and situation that you might get into when iN college. This suggests the magazine is more about educating and informing.

Magazine brief analysis

• The use of the colours red and yellow connotes  it was influenced by the caribbean colours which are red, green, black and yellow.
• Masthead is not covered connoting it may not be as well established
• 
  
• The contents has be located on the top left of the bag and is quite smaller then a usual one. this makes it less noticeable which could suggest that they want more people to actually read the whole magazine in order for the reade to get to know more about the magazine
• The font colours of the contents page is in two shades of grey dark and light. this connotes that maybe the dark grey text is the main features of the magazine and more important parts.

WHAT IS RnB?

WHAT IS RNB? 

RnB originally stands for rhythm and blues, however, the genre of music i will be looking into is contemporary RnB (new version) which has combined elements of soul, RnB, hip hop and dance. In the beginning RnB was solely about guitar sounds and deep vocalising.  It was known as an African - American sound that evolved  from Jazz And blues. During the 1940s it became very popular because of its dance ability.                                                   Today, RnB is still popular for it dance abilities but it has become a mainstream genre of music that everyone listens to makes from slow jams to funky upbeat ones. It different style has allowed artists like Chris Brown, Beyoncé  and others to create one of the most legendary songs of all times.
