School Magazine Review- Goerge Stephenson

Main image

On the front cover, one image takes up most of the page and is right in the middle. It draws your eye straight to the middle of it, as it uses a bird’s eye view photograph of the school, but the image has been changed so every corner is symmetrical. From this there are all images around it, from photographs of student to images of school equipment such as rubbers. The only image that is on the contents page is a house style image of three speech boxes.

 Inset Pictures

The inset pictures would be the pictures on the outside of the main image of the school, but they are all attached as one. They have the same image of part of the school, a few times opposite each other to make the picture symmetrical.

Colour Scheme

The background colour of the front cover is dark green at the top, but it slowly fades to white as it gets to the bottom. The colours of the images them selves are mostly grey red and blue. There are two pictures of three speech bubbles which represent the house style colours. On the contents page the background colour is white and then they have four different coloured boxes with the text in. Again they have stuck to the house styles colours of blue and green.

 Layout

On the front cover the layout is simple with the main image and inset images in the very middle, the name of the magazine at the top and any other information such as the name of the school above the title and an idea of what’s in the magazine below the title. With the date and issue above that. On the contents page they have used several boxes to set the layout, with them at the top half of the page. Then under them there is any additional information.

Text

On the front cover the front cover the title is big and in a rounded style text and in bold and black, where as the rest of the writing is in more formal style text and is small and white. On the contents page four of the headings are in the same rounded font as the title and are in white and black and in bold. And the rest of the writing is smaller and in white and black and is in the same formal text as before.

Language

For the front cover the language of the text is basic, easy to read and understand and there is a list which uses repetition of ‘ws’ at the end of each word. The text is mostly just information on the school of both the front cover and the contents page. They also use on the contents page lists and names.
