By Joshua Chapman

MastheadDesigned to be easy to read and stand out against the background.

Plug Draws the interest of the reader making them want to know more.

Feature articlePhoto Matt is looking directly into the camera to draw the readers attention.

Puff Challenges other magazine and tells the reader that it is the best one around.

The typography is bold and eye catching. Designed to draw the readers attention to this magazine over any other.

Misc-en-scene the facial expression is happy to let people know this a happy school. Standing behind a familiar background (birds eye view of school) to make readers feel at home.

Style is serious but enjoyable. The magazine is filled with information but fun to read at the sane time.

House style: Spelling and grammar should be correct as it for a formal audience.

Audience: This is aimed at school students. Or, any adults who's interested on what's happening at school.

Added my logo on to magazine so readers can easily identify it

In my masthead I’ve used big eye catching colours to draw attention

In my feature article photo I've used a mid shot to capture the happy and positive attitude of the student.

On my contents page I've used a filler picture to cover up an empty area.

I've used block covers to directly contrast the colour of my font

I've used bold typography to be eye catching and interesting.

I've used the convention of making my feature article photo the main item on the page

Conventions I've used

On my front cover I could've found a better background to contrast the words and make them stand out more.

Could've cropped my feature article photo with more accuracy.

I should’ve used more creative fonts on my front cover and contents page.

I shouldn’t have stretched the picture in my contents page as its now distorted.

I should've found a more appropriate background for my contents page so I didn’t have to use a block colour background to make the words visible.

I should've put my logo on my front cover as it needs to stand out, its not standing out on the contents page.

Things I could've done better
