Connotations I will try to communicate and how

I will try to portray that the magazine is fun, modern and new. Also that it is different and looks interesting to read. The masthead will be bold and eye-catching, so will the main image.
The masthead I would put at and angle across the left-hand corner of the page, this connotes that it is maybe a bit out of the ordinary and different. The main image would be of a female student smiling in medium close up - maybe looking away from the camera. This suggests that maybe she is with friends and having fun. She would be outside with trees and grass, maybe a bench and other students burred out in the background. This makes the image stand out, but also suggests she is in college grounds but still having fun - smiling.
The cover lines would be dotted around the page in a bold font and colour, maybe a 'hot pink', that can be seen easily against the blurred background. This connotes that the magazine, inside, looks interesting. Also it may attract more female attention with the colours and patterns. These cover lines would display headlines of inside stories and new merchandise avalible on the high street. This connotes that the magazine is modern and up-to date.
