The use of colours that I choose for this magazine front cover
are conventional to school magazine for example they often
use the colours of the school logo, although red is the primary
colour of the Neale-wade logo it does have orange round the
outside, because this is bright it reinforces the fact of it being a
summer edition, but it also ties in with the school logo so
would cause the target audience to want to buy this as it is
about there school.
I have also caused the hot spots of the principle of thirds to
surround the faces, this emphasises the pupils from the school,
I have also but the issue in the terminal area so it is the last
thing that they see and causes them to remember what issue
the magazine is.
I have created the front page of my
magazine depending on the research
that I conducted earlier, the type of
conventions I found from my research is
that they consist of photos of the
students, what issue it was, and bold font
to catch the attention, and many more, I
have put these conventions into my
magazine.
I have used bold font in italic and with the
colour orange, the reason I choose to do
this is so it would catch the attention of
the target audience. I have then done the
cover lines in white, one of them being
bold then the other, this is so the
audience sees that story being more
important then the other and so attracts
the target audience, by causing the front
cover of the magazine so portray a effect
of it begin different. I also put a heading
under the Mast head stating “Specialist in
Maths and ICT” this is so the audience
sees something on the front cover that
they notice is related with the school.
I have based my Layout upon the
principle of thirds and the route of the
eye, some examples of this is that I have
put the masthead at the start of the rout
of the eye and so causes the target
audience to notice were the magazine is
from and what it is about. I have then put
my main photo in a position so the route
of the eye goes diagonally threw the
faces this is so the target audience
recognise that the pupils are form there
college and reinforces the mast head, I
have then placed my second cover line on
the vertical line of the route of the eye at
the bottom of the page, this causes the
target audience to see this last and so
wants to read the article and see how it
affect the school that they go to.
