Analysing my School Magazine

Ethan Walker

This is my Masthead in which I used ‘warp text’ to give it the ‘wavey’ style. I did this because I wanted to give the magazine a friendly feel to it. I also gave it two colours, black and white. I did this to separate the title of the magazine and the word ‘magazine’. The font used was ‘PRETEXT’ I used it because it was almost as if someone had painted it on which helped incorporate it with the image below.

For my magazine I used a bright pink with a texture overlay. I used the pink to go with the other images’ background and also to make the magazine more eye catching.

This is my plug I used to draw readers in. I used this specific text because the majority of readers will be A-Level students and proud parents.

Cover Page

The image I used is a posed mid-shot in which there is a lot of looking space. The man is posed looking away from the camera to give the image a negative, not connected feel which contrast against the rest of the cover. I did this to show the stress the school gives to students.

Contents Page

Rule of thirds, I made sure that the list was in a column and only listed the more interesting pages so they would be seen first.

I used a huge, bold text to the contents page to show the importance of the page.

The image I used is of a smiling teacher next to our trophy cabinet, this was done to showcase the achievements.

I used a bright, yellow background to make it stand out amongst the other pages.
