For the front page of a college magazine, i think that images of teenagers and school equipment would be appropriate, as they seem relative to school. Preferably bright, eye catching images that are modern in order to get the viewers attention. 

Fonts that would be best for the front cover of a college magazine would be large, bold text that is easy to read from a distance, increasing the chances of attracting attention of consumers passing by. Also, the front page of a magazine targeted towards this audience should have many different subtitles scattered noticeably across the page, ranging in different topics that are included inside the magazine. This would increase the chances of a consumer noticing something they are interested in on the front page, and influencing them to buy it. 

The mastheads used should be quick and catchy quotes taken from each article to briefly summarize what is inside, and the layout of the text should be neat and put into centered paragraphs.
