Conventions of a Student Magazine

To make a successful student magazine front cover, I think these conventions must be included:

• A clear, bright colour scheme that attracts the reader's eye. The colours must also be applicable to both boys and girls.
• A layout that gives the magazine a modern and interesting look, but also a layout that can easily be navigated about.
• A bold and 'catchy' masthead, with a name that is informative and attractive.
• Main image of student, to reinforce the target audience. 
• Website address, to encourage readers to subscribe, or read the magazine online if they would prefer.
• Extra information outlining upcoming events, recent event reviews, etc.
