Preliminary Task: School Magazine


Our first task was to create a school magazine. I chose Ashleigh as my model and we went around our school taking pictures of mainly classes and the building itself. Because of the Heworth logo being blue and yellow I chose to have this as my colour scheme to represent the school. Once I chose my image I enlarged it to fit the page as this is a main convention of a magazine. I made the masthead large so it stands out on the page to catch the audience’s attention. I included headlines to give the reader an insight of what articles are included in a magazine. 

For the contents page I kept the font the same font and colour scheme as on the cover to give my magazine a house style. I made the layout quite simple for the younger year groups who could read the magazine and so the page wasn't cluttered i chose to use only one image and made sure it was relevant to the magazine.
