School Magazine Research

The next magazine we have to create is a school magazine. First thing I’m going to do is research and analyse.

Mast Head – It’s sectioned at the top and takes the whole width of the page and a fair bit of the length. It’s bold and clear, it’s the first thing that grabs your attention and it’s outlined which helps it stand out on the page more. The colour scheme looks to be blue and white so they've put white writing against blue. Its good contrast which helps it stand out.  

Copy - From what I can see school magazines have little copy on the front, however it may be little but it's important and probably is all what the magazine is about. It is white and bold yet again going with the colour scheme and its clear to read.

Image - The picture has students from the school, they are well dressed and look smart which is representing the school in a good way, they all look happy and relaxed suggesting this school is stress free and fun which yet again is good representing. If a parent was to pick up this to see about sending their child to this school it defiantly looks like a good option with its updated technology and nice clean classrooms.

Mast Head - At the top and takes up quite a lot of the left corner. It's not big in length but they have used a big font. Its red to go with the colour scheme of red, white and black; they've outlined it with white to help it stand out of the page and not be lost into the background. They've used two different fonts so it doesn't look to plain and the Mast Head is also got two different things 'Parents and School' so the different fonts help single it out.

Copy - There is little copy but enough to give you the information you need. There is a piece of copy that is green which suggests they are making it stand out and it's the most important bit of copy. The green doesn't fit in with the rest of the magazine which is what makes it stand out. Then the others are in white on a black background which makes them show up and clear to read, the information is important but not as much as the other.

Image - A picture that is focused on a male student with science equipment which is related to the magazine purpose. He's dressed smartly and the classroom he is in look light, clean and a happy environment which all represent the school well. He has a calm straight face which suggests that the school is stress free.
