My School Magazine Front Cover

For our preliminary we had to create a magazine cover & my next post will be comparing mine to a real school magazine front cover.
I used a black font as it is more prominent than the rest of the font. I wanted this to stand out the most as it is the title of the magazine. I used the Southfield rose to reinforce the femininty of the magazine itself. I used varying house colours to portray the appealing community of the different houses.
I wanted to make it clear of what each 'C' in the title stood for, therefore I clearly stated the words underneath to prevent any confusion.

For my second photo, I used a mid shot in order to get a clear photo of the Southfield's new deputy head teacher as she is new to the school.


Here is a real school magazine front cover. Like my magazine front cover, this magazine has its title clearly stated at the top of the page in order for it to stand out. The students on this cover appear to be taking part in some form of activity, like the students on my magazine front cover are taking part in the 'Year seven reading challenge'.
I have noticed a similarity in the colour theme of the two magazine front covers. This may be simply because the colour red stands out against many other colours. Again, this magazine front cover has made the most appealing aspects of the magazine stand out. In this case it is the word 'class' which has been highlighted in bright yellow. There are many positive connotations that come with the colour yellow and the word 'class' itself. e.g yellow could connote brightness and the word class itself could suggest that the magazine is formal and appropriate for its targeted audience.
