Evaluation on School Magazine

I used a few key words which would make it obvious to the reader what they are reading. I used certain phrases like "Shebbear College" and "sheb" which are all things to do with school. I thought that this was very important and would be effective if used correctly. A few key words I used were :
- "Shebbear College"
- "6th Form"
- "Mr Newitt"
- "Mr Langridge"

I made sure that when creating my school magazine that I included the school colours as this would be show a clear link with the school and also share an almost safety net as the people buying the magazine find it familiar. Our school colours consist of:
-Red
-Yellow/gold
-Black

I used the red colour as a background colour. Red resembles a warm feeling so I used this as I thought this would entice the reader and not put the reader on edge.
I used the gold and black colour as my heading colours. The text was a clear black colour and was surrounded by a gold outline. I used those colours for the heading as they are very bold and prominent colours and make it clear and easy to read.

On my magazine front cover I used two key picture linking to both teasers on the page. I had a carton picture of two people debating. I manipulated these picture so that then it show two plagues on the boards displaying tutor names.

I managed to link the contents page to the title page by using the same colour scheme and also I included the same pictures relating to the teasers.

I personally thought that it was key that I should include the price, bar code and a date. It was very important that the price was clearly displayed for all customers to see. Also the date was essential as this tells the customer whether they have grabbed the latest copy.
