School magazine front cover 'School Weekly'

This is my finished school magazine front cover, which I produced with another AS Media student as the task was optioned to work with one other partner or by yourself.

We chose to name our school magazine ‘School Weekly’ as we thought that straight away the title gives away what type of magazine it is and that it will include information of things that have been going on through the week at ‘Southfields sports and science academy’. We also chose to place the school logo beside the title as part of our masthead to show that it is for ‘Southfields School’ and also to give the masthead a bit of colour. Our colour scheme/house style was red, white and black as these are the school colours, these colours are shown on the school uniform and also around the school in classrooms and hallways. The sell lines that we included were mainly kept red, but also had one sell line white& one black so that it was not all the same. We did them these colour of course due to house style we were aiming for and the fact that they were school colours. We decided to write among the sell lines ‘Year 7 open evening wed 2^nd Oct’ to provide our audience with information on upcoming events. Also ‘New school improvements!’ + The image of one of the schools new improvements which was the new TV’s around the school which provide students& teachers with information about the school. We chose to include this sell line and show them an image to attract the eye of the readers by showing that the info on the ‘New improvements!’ inside is exclusive as they are ‘New’ and have just been put into the school. Furthermore ‘The Ecuador Experience; see inside for pics’ is an event that has past therefore is informing the audience of how this event went and pictures of Ecuador& the students that went inside, this will attracts them as they will want to see the ‘pics’ provided. Lastly ‘98% A*-C exam & A level results’ this is providing the audience with success of the school. The image on the front cover is of a year 7 student that attends ‘Southfield school’ in her uniform and also holding another new school improvement which is the school lanyards which allows students to swipe in& out of school. This is intrigues the audience as they want to know what this model is holding and more about it.
