Mock up of magazine cover. 

Evaluation of my school magazine

This is the evaluation of my investigation with the school magazine.

Front cover mock up

This is a draft/mock up of my front cover page. I planned to use photographs of school students holding exam results to show off their exam success. I also planned to put in the school logo to show relevance to the project. in the bottom corner I planned to show contact information. such as telephone numbers and email address/website addresses.

Contents Page mock up

This is a mock up of my contents page, I have taken onboard from my research that it needs to be eye catching, bold and also inviting to make you want to read on. i have made sure that mine meets this standard by using bold blue circles (school colours) to attract attention and to also make it clear which pages tells you which information. I have also used the school logo again to show relevance to the purpose of the contents page. 

School magazine front cover

This is a copy of my front cover for my school magazine. From carrying out my research I found that big bold titles were very eye catching and appealing so that is why I decided to use this in my. I have used a landscape shot of the whole school on my cover to also draw the eyes attention. I have then also used a mid-shot of a student in front of the school for my main photo.

School Magazine Research

 

 By doing this task I have learnt that magazines that use the school colours are a lot more attractive and draw in my attention rather the typical black and white. Also I have noticed that contents pages that are clear and bold but not over crowded are the best and attract my attention. I will take on board this research when creating my own magazine cover and contents page.
