Finished Front cover, contents page and Evaluation of School Magazine

Finished Front Cover and Contents Page:

For this task, We were asked to create a front cover and contents page for a school magazine. We were also asked to use photoshop to do this. This had to include pictures and texts, colour and logo. As you can see from the images above, I have created a front cover as well as a contents page.

Front Cover: 

For my front cover, I tried to add as many images as i could. I also added the St Marks masthead to ensure that the reader knew what the magazine was. I used a variety of images but most of all, i used images of studying pupils. This helped give a positive effect on the school and also showed how hard working the students of the school are. I tried to keep the front cover simple and with only one colour scheme. As well as the logo, I also included the issue date of the magazine. This helped inform the reader of when the maggazine was released. Some of the texts that i included were very positive for example i said "Believe and Achieve". I used the text button in photo shop to help put my text vertically on the right hand side of the page. This helped make my front cover look a bit interesting. As well as the positive piece of text, I included the school years that were available.

I also tried to aim my front cover at the students. I did this through the images of other studnets. I was hoping this would help get them interested.

Contents Page:

For the content page, I used images that showed leisure activities in the sixth form such as lifting weights in the gym and a playing snooker in the common room. I took these pictures in order to show that its not all work and no play. I was hoping this would definitely attract the readers. I kept the background white so that the coloured texts would stand out. I also kept all the texts on one side of the page to make it was easier to read. Again i added the school logo to show that this was still a school magazine.
