The masthead instantly allows us to understand what we can expect from the magazine

The main image is a perfect example of what aspect of school life this magazine is focusing on

The words at the bottom of the magazine also allow us to understand what can be of expected inside the magazine

The puffs also give us and sneak preview of what is inside the magazine helps us to decide whether we want to buy the magazine or not

Colour scheme of orange yellow and white, colour scheme is maintained on the front cover

There is a anchorage so we know who the person in the front cover is

The masthead relates to the main image allows us to understand the topic of the magazine

The main image shows us the innocence and youth of a teenager, also shows us the maturity these are shown through the braces and the cap

The puffs relate to what all students are interested in (GCSE results) allows them to interest the audience before the look inside the magazine

As it is aimed at school children it takes into account of finance as they have priced their magazine at 99p which makes it affordable for school children

The font that is used is usually seen on the back of varsity jackets which are associated with secondary schools

They have kept to their colour scheme

The masthead again relates to the main image as it shows students reading

The students aren’t giving the camera any eye contact to show that they are interested in the books

Colour scheme of white blue and black

The main image and puff allow us to get a sneak preview of what can be expected inside the magazine

Appropriate catchphrase for a school magazine

This is a close up of two students. Only includes the top half of their body.

I have edited this picture by darkening the edges and darkening the background, I also darkened the two girls in order to make the picture clearer.

Rough version of school magazine

As you can see from my rough versions I experimented with different lightings and fonts before

coming to my final decision

I have changed the picture from colour to black and white and I have cropped out the other member of the photo in order to make the picture the right size for a magazine

I standard colour picture of two students working

This is the final version of my

school magazine, as you can see I have further edited the

pictured and added puffs in order to attract

my audience into buying and reading my

magazine, the smaller pictures

on the cover allow the

audience to get a insight into what can be expected

inside the magazine

School contents page

This is my final version of my contents page, I have darkened it in order for the to get rid of some of the back ground and to create a contrast between the main image and the smaller images, I added some text along with the pictures so that my readers will know what is to come without having to read through the whole magazine. The pictures help to interest the reader. After getting feedback from other peers I decided to go with this design as this seemed to please most

Colour scheme

R&B

R&B R&B

I would choose to use images like these as they are some of the most recognisable R&B artists

R&B magazines usually have clear bold font so these are some of the fonts I would choose

From R&B magazines I have seen they mostly consist of colours such as Blue and white so that’s why I've chosen these
