first draft of magazine cover and contents page

Magazine cover  

This is my first draft of my magazine cover. The title is of a large font so that it stands out and it will be in white so as to catch the attenion of the reader as it will be on a slightly darker background. It will be in font 'calibri' which is quite a modern font showing that the school is very up to date and modern. It does however still look formal and shows that the school is not informal. It will feature a large image of one of the school buildings. The image is very bright which shows cleanliness and make it feel slightly more welcoming. The image has no peoples in it and the brightness of the white building also adds a feel of serenity. It also features an image of a boy working hard, this demonstrates the good work ethic of the school. The boy in the image also looks smart showing that the school does have uniform rules and needs the boys to look smart and formal. There will also be some information on upcoming school events to keep the parents and pupils informed on the great oppurtunities the school has to offer. The font will be one that is easy to read, for this reason also the font will be qutie large. The magazine will have the date and issue number featured on the top right hand corner so that people are aware of what issue it is.

Contents page

My contents page clearly shows all the information within the magazine and also features some images to keep it excitting and to demonstate some of the articles featured within the pages. The pages are clearly listed with their numbers and the images have numbers on them to show which page in the magazine they are related to. It also features the school badge as it is important to the identity of the school. The font is large and also in calibri, therefore it is easy to read. The title will also be in white to match the one of the front cover. The background of the contents page will be white as it is quite a neutral colour and it will mean that the images and page titles will stand out on it as they will be in a navy blue font.
