The Final Front Cover

The title stands out as it is large and in an easy font and colour to read. The words in capital letters and in large font are used for emphasis. It shows what is featured in the magazine. All the writing is easy to read and understand. There is an enlarged picture of the grade slip that the student is holding in the middle to the right of the magazine-showing good grades would possibly make potential readers want to buy it and read more. Mid close-up of the student holding up their exam results with a shocked face. People could interpret this in many ways. This could mean they did exceptionally well and didn't think that they would get these results or they could have done really badly and failed everything etc. The background will be the background of the image that i will be taking and using, which will be the grange. The layout is simple and not cluttered in order to make it easy to read. I have also used the school logo as it is something to represent the school. I did not use an actual image as everytime I wanted to take images the person was either unavailable or it was raining. The writing looks a bit too cartoon-like which is good for a school magazine. It does not look like there is much going on.

Contents Page

This contents page is simple and easy to read. you would not want a contents page that is over-crowded with images and writing as it would be rather difficult to read and pick out exactly what you want to read about or look at.

Research: Titles

From these titles that i have researched, i will use these to help me to design my own title for my magazine.

School Life
6th Fun
6th Formers
6th Form
School Days
The Formers

Out of these title ideas i will choose one that will be suitable for a 6th Form magazine.

Research: Contents Page

The background is simple. However, it is very bland and boring and would not attract many readers. There are six main headings which are all in bold and are bigger in font size to make them stand out from the rest of the page and other sub-headings. By looking at the contents page, it seems to be quite a long magazine as there are so many sub-headings listed. Comparing this contents page with the other contents page, the other one would appeal more to the readers as it is colourful and has an image as its background. However, this contents page is easier to read and it has specific sub-headings so it is easier to find exactly what you are looking for or are interested in. This would look higher in quality if it had an image as its background or had a few pictures of what is featured inside the magazine or of people.
