Contents Page for School Magazine

This is the contents page for my School Magazine, where the colours are bright and blend well together in order to make it more appealing for people to read.

There is a random fact in order to make the magazine mroe fun and relatable for the students.

Front Cover of School Magazine

This is the front cover for my school magazine.
I have used the design of the flat plans which were discussed with my focus group, to complete it.
The photograph that I took is the main focus of the front cover as it grabs the attention of the reader because its aims are for people the same sort of age as the person on the cover.

School Magazine Picture

This is the photo that I have chosen to use for my front cover of the school magazine because it is a medium shot of a pupil.

The picture is suitable for the front cover because it shows a student with a book and a smile on her face which gives an impression to the readers that it is a good place to be. Also the picture was taken in school grounds which makes it more appealing to readers.

Front cover & Contents page flat plans

After talking with the focus group, it was decided to have this style as the front cover, as it has the picture in the middle which makes it the main focus of the front cover. It then has the title in the top corner with features inside the magazine scattered around the picture.

This is the contents page where it has a large title across the top of the page with a fun fact next to it to enable reader to interact with the magazine.

The contents of the magazine will be listed just off centre of the page to gain the attention of the reader so they know what they can expect inside the magazine. Along the side of the the list there will be pictures of students from the school to make the magazine more relatable to the readers.
