HEADLINES IDEAS 

Here are some headlines suggestions for my college magazine. I particularly tried to make the headlines catching for the audience. Looking at other school/college magazines helped me to create my own cover stories which will be suitable for young adult audience who attend college or sixth form. Another inspiration source was based on quotations about motivation and success. 


'Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going! - Find out now about NEW revision techniques! '

I particularly like this headline as it's quite thoughtful. While writing this cover story I was inspired by a motivational quotation which I found on the internet recently. This was a really useful source as I think it made the title even more successful due to its direct point. It also makes the viewer think about exploring new revision techniques.

 
'Strive for progress, not perfection'. Exclusive interview with Anna Flinch - graduate of Oxford University' 

This is another headline which is attracting the viewers to read an article from a graduate student of one of the most famous and exclusive universities in England. Applying a quotation from an 'interview' makes the reader see the content of the article. The vague information given makes the reader want to read on. The use of naming a prestigious university might also attract the viewer more, as it is particularly well known.
 
 

'TOP 10 COURSES IN COLLEGES - FIND OUT NOW WHICH ONE IS THE MOST SUITABLE FOR YOU !'

This is an eye-catching headline which is suitable for people who are willing to find out about different popular/successful courses found within colleges. The use of direct address in the title makes the readers want to pursue an interest with the magazine. The use of singling out courses makes the readers want to continue reading as they may want to know what makes the courses so popular/interesting.
 
 
'PANIC EPIDEMIC! ADVISES ON HOW TO COPE WITH THE UPCOMING EXAM PRESSURE!'
 
The use of the phrase "panic epidemic" at the beginning of the headline makes the viewer read on and find out how to cope with upcoming exam pressure. I think this is successful as the phrase seems to be worrying at first, however, the given solutions contradict the worrying phrase. Within this particular headline I could use bold, eye-catching font which would grab the audience with this particular phrase.
