School Magazine Name Decision

For my preliminary task I am creating a college magazine aimed at sixth form students.
I have picked 3 mastheads.

House Style

-As my audience is quite young, I want my font to be quite formal as my audience members are the oldest in the college, therefore I want to resemble some form of maturity.
-I want my magazine to be recogniseable to the school logo therefore for my colour scheme I am using white, blue, and yellow.
-My magazine is aimed at sixth form students therefore my mode of address is quite chatty and informal.

Magazine Front Cover Template

I made this front cover template by using the measurements from a real magazine front cover and imported it into a word document using the gridlines and rulers to help me be as accurate as I could.

I then used the measurements from the template from the real magazine front cover to create a template more suited to my school magazine as I have used a medium close-up instead of a long shot. I created my template for my school magazine in word and used the gridlines to help me get the correct measurements.

Here is my finished template without the gridlines.
