2. Front Cover One!
This is the schools logo placed in the bottom
left hand corner. This is so the school is
mentioned on the magazine and it is clear that
it is for the school. It also makes the magazine
look official as the school has their name on it.
Magazine masthead. The
masthead is blue which links
to the colour of the school
logo so the magazine is
relevant to the school and its
for them. The masthead is
bold and spread across the
whole page. Non of the
masthead is covered showing
the school magazine is not
recognised easily enough for
them to cover some of the
masthead.
The model in the image is a average
student. She has a very happy facial
expression which could show how she
enjoys everyday school life. The model
is not giving the audience direct eye
contact which could show she is looking
up to someone. This would then link to
the sub heading ‘Club Together’. Which
could mean she is looking up to an older
student for help and guidance.
The sub-heading is in full upper
case and bold text. This is so it is
seen as the most important and
eye catching text after the larger
masthead. The text is also in
white so it stands out on the full
image background. However white
still inks into the school magazines
house style as it is the colour
which the masthead blends into
and the background of the school
logo.
These two images resembles
‘pop-up’ advertisements, these
are used to show a preview of
what is in the magazine. The
headings of these are blue to link
to the masthead and white text
to show they still have
importance to the magazine.
The masthead, logo, images
and subheadings work
together to create a frame
around the model on the
image in the centre of the
cover.
The shot of the model is a medium close
up as her head and shoulders can be
seen. I believe they have chosen this
shot as a full body shot was not relevant
and their main focus was to capture her
facial expressions. However they still
wanted her to be seen as an average
student so used a medium close up so
some of her school uniform could still be
seen.

3. Front Cover Two!
The cover shot consist of many
different shots and angles. In the shot
there are 3 students which consist of a
long shot, a medium long shot and a
medium close up. The shots get closer to
the reader as if the students are coming
out of the cover. Which could show that
the school has so much going on it’s
bursting out of the magazine. There is
also an overall extreme long shot
showing the grounds of the school this
may be shown to show the school which
this students go to and the fun the
school offers. The facial expressions of
the 3 students is very happy, showing
that they are enjoying school life to the
full and the activates that will be
discussed in the magazine.
The headline is white and bright yellow, this allows it to
stand out from the image which creates the background.
The yellow text is larger than the white which could show
that this word has more importance to the headline.
The masthead of the school
magazine is done very
professional to show the school
at it’s best. Because mostly
students will read this magazine
however parents could also read
the magazine so therefore a
professional image still needs to
be displayed. Above the
masthead is the schools slogan
‘Achieving success together’, this
shows how important the slogan
is to the school and the success
it gains them from following it.
The masthead is in a large bold
text in upper case lettering
which I believe helps in making it
stand out on the page. The colour
of the masthead is also the same
colour as the school uniform
which creates a very strong link
between the magazine and the
school.

4. Front Cover Three!
The masthead on this magazine is not
as bold or dramatic as it is on other
magazines. The text of the masthead is
simple and becomes bolder from left to
right. The masthead is crisp white so
its stands clearly forward from the
black show style background. Once
again the masthead is stretch across
the whole front cover. It is also not
covered again showing that the
magazine needs all the notice it can
gain.
The cover shot used as a
background on the cover is a long
shot. The shot shows a school play
which has taken place within the
school. This image has been chosen
as the cover shot as that is the
main piece within this issue of the
magazine. In the image is many of
the cast, however one member of
the cast is more forward in the
shot this is to show the reader that
this person is the main in the show.
The shot is also an action shot as it
has been taken whilst the cast
perform which I believe shows the
heart and sole of the magazine and
the energy within the school. Also
the background of the shot is black
which I believe highlights the stars
of the school which is the cast in
the school play.
This section of text is saying what else the magazine
includes. The ‘plus’ heading to catch the readers eye
is in bold pink text so it stands out from the rest of
the white text on the page. By it also been different
from the rest of the text shows that it is an extra
for the reader.
The headline is in white
text, however the text is
much thinner than previous
covers I have looked at. I
believe this is because the
school wanted to create a
stronger headline with the
image, rather than the
text.

5. ContentsPageOne!
The main heading for the
contents page is in the largest
and boldest text. This is so it is
clear to the audience what the
page is about and what it
contains.
These three images
selected down the side of
the contents page resemble
a film reel. This could show
that these images are the
trailer to what the magazine
contains.
The subheadings of the contents
page are in the same font and bold
as the heading however the font
size is smaller. This is to show
they are important in telling you
what is happening at each page of
the magazine. Under neither the
bold sub headings there is a
smaller less bold text which allows
the reader to have slightly more
information on the article which is
on this page.
The page numbers have a
clear colour contrast to
their background colour,
this is so the numbers
clearly stand out so
therefore it will be easy
for the reader to find the
page.

6. ContentsPageTwo !
The heading again is the
largest text on the page.
However on this contents page
there is no other text in the
same colour which makes the
heading easier to stand out.
The heading colour also links
to key colours in many of the
images on the page and also
the banner which is placed
across the bottom of the page.
The page numbers on the
contents are placed along the
left hand side. However I
believe the size of the
numbers are slightly too small
and I may wish to use larger
numbers for my contents
page.
This is the magazines issue
number they may have
chosen to place the issue
number on the contents
page so the front cover
was not to busy. And
therefore the front page
could be filled further
with the main story.
Once again a series of
images have been used
to create the sense of a
film reel. So again I
believe this is to show a
preview or a trailer of
what is to come in the
magazine.
