Magazine front cover comparison

Magazine front cover in comparison to 'School Weekly' front cover

 

 

This school magazine cover 'Home School Enrichment' in comparison to my 'School Weekly' magazine cover conveys various similarities and also differences. The 'Home School Enrichment' magazine uses various bright and eye-catching colours such as; yellow,purple and green which grabs the readers attention immediately: Purple and yellow both being used on the masthead. This gives the magazine a warm and positive tone and appearance. On the other hand in my school magazine cover of 'School Weekly' i have used a plain black font with the school logo situated to the right hand side of the masthead to convey that it is a formal magazine which will provide information about upcoming events or past school trips/events that were a success, also to show that the magazine is aimed at students,teachers or parents of southfield school. 'Home School Enrichment' have sell lines both aligned on the right and left hand side, where as i chose to only situate various sell lines on the right hand side as my mid shot image is situated more towards the left/middle of the front cover and also to keep it clear and uncluttered. On the masthead of 'Home School Enrichment'  the Serif font has been used to convey that the magazine is reliable and trustworthy which will provide comfort and sustainability for the audience reading. Moreover the sell lines for 'Home School Enrichment' are a sans serif font which is also beneficial and may attract a younger audience and show to be more of a friendly and trendy front cover. In similarity to my 'School Weekly' magazine i also used a sans serif font to attract all students and for them to feel comfortable reading it. Moreover 'Home School Enrichment' use a question in one of thier many sell lines "Leave it to the pro's?" which can convey as being interrogative and forceful which results in the reader wanting to read on and answer the question themselves. They also used rather imperative sell lines. In contrast i used mainly statements as my sell lines:  "New house point scheme" and "Year 7 open evening, wed 2nd oct" to inform the reader. I also used an exclamation to emphasise the sell lines and portray success and delight.
