Target Audience: Suitable and appropriate for any age but more applicable to students, around the 16-21 age range, quite small - yes, but it must be this way to fully focus on targeting
Topic: School/College Magazine, flavours of humour, advanced lexical use to give an added academic aspect whilst reading.
Dominant features: Bold masthead and cover photo, clear taglines and cover lines.
Titles: College Status, Academic Times, Planet College, State of College were four that I thought most fondly of and will nominate from for my final magazine title. This is important as my masthead is the most dominant and important feature on my cover.
Fonts: Preferably Sans Serif where feasible, but I will sacrifice that preference when appropriate.
Ideas for Taglines: We're For Students, Stick to the Status, A Better Status Than On Facebook, College Students Station.
Publishing Time: January, in time for the new calendar year and after Christmas for college students.
Cover image: A student or group of students.

Dimensions: Yet to be considered although definitely will take up the majority of the height of an A4 page.
Images/Colour use: I would use casual and positive pictures, with laid back and casual colours, but still bold and aesthetically pleasing at the same time.
Proposal:
For my magazine, I would like to focus on appealing to the target audience chosen. This is of course students, which I marked out at around the 16-21 age range. Despite this being a small age range of just five years, it does however aid the focus of the magazine on simply students, rather than the unnecessary need to appeal to younger or older audiences. Even so, if a parent or whoever wanted to have a read, the topics in there would still be of understandable and mature nature, as adult appeal is very similar to that of students anyway - students aren't children.
If the entire magazine were to be made, I would include advanced lexical terms, words and phrases to give that added adult and academic nature to it. The magazine would be based around the happenings around a college, like a bulletin magazine.
