Name•HCTC Magazine

•CP Magazine

•Harris Weekly

•The News of Harris

•Harris Entertainment

•Grand Palace

•Crystal News

These are the various options I have opted to choose from for the title of the magazine. All of which

immediately indicates that this magazine is in relation to the school. However, not all of the names

mentioned can be used such as ‘The News of Harris’; this is long and remotely uninteresting of which

would make it assumed that this magazine is not to the readers liking. It also doesn’t stand out of which

is necessary to have many readers to grow accustomed to the magazine. Other titles such as ‘CP Magazine’ is simple and significant to the purpose of the magazine. The initials of ‘CP’, represent Crystal

Palace, shows the reader that this is a magazine which represents their school; this of which is

effective to use the initials of the school name for the name of the school magazine. This is the reason why I have chosen the title of ‘CP Magazine’ for the name of my magazine. Not only does it stand out from the

others but is bold and significant. It is also eye catching and immediately recognisable by others.

FontThe Font mood board shows a variety of different fonts, which I have opted to choose from for the title block. The title will need to be bold and eye catching of which will need to immediately grab the readers attention. There are various types of fonts, of which can be simple yet daring such as Arial, this of which is simple yet bold however, it is not one of the most eye catching of fonts of which would cause the reader not to read the magazine. The fonts that I have chosen are:

•Century Gothic

•Eras Light ITC

I have chosen these fonts because they are readable and understandable by the reader of which is a necessity for a magazine. These fonts are going to be made to be bold and eye catching to the reader as shown below:

Images

I have taken a variety of photos to be used for my magazine however I have chosen the third picture for the cover. This is because she is representing herself as a working student in the correct uniform which will encourage students to follow the same regulations. I will also be using the first photo for the contents page because of the same reason.

Colour Scheme

The colour scheme that I will be using for the school magazine are yellows, green and white; this is because these colours represent the school logo, which gives an immediate indication of what the magazine is

about and that it relates to the school. The colours are going to be bold and eye catching to the reader, which will entice them to purchase the magazine. The colours will be the same on every page, to keep it

simple and basic and would allow readers to be accustomed to these colours in relation to the purpose of the magazine.
