2. KingEd’s Sixth FormThe Masthead is
white and stands
out against the
dark background.
It is also on a
slant creating a
fun and edgy feel.
The image shows
smiling
students, suggesti
ng they are happy
which can
encourage new
students.
Teal font against
a green and pale
background in
some places
appears difficult
to read. More
care could have
been taken.
3. Clear font colour
and size against
cool blue
background.
Studies suggest
people are more
productive in blue
surroundings
which could
reflect the
productivity of the
school.

4. Stoke Newington Sixth
Form (Spotlight)
Very simplistic
layout:
The image appears
to be scientific as
it shows contents
under a
microscope. This
reflects that the
school is academic
and may be a good
choice for people
inspiring to
involve themselves
in a science
degree.
The Masthead is
yellow and
stands out. The
colour yellow is
full of creative
and intellectual
energy and
symbolizes
wisdom which
reflects the
qualities of the
school.
5. Clear and
informative layout
Includes letter from
head teacher which
mentions qualities
and achievements
of the school which
is good in
encouraging new
students (and also in
encouraging adults/
parents to send their
children there.
(addresses them
directly)
Wide range of
sophisticated
topics which
would appeal to
lots of different
audiences.
Informative as it tells
you about the front
cover and who the
editor is; both students
(shows students
involvement with the
school).
Image of head teacher
gives the reader an idea
of who they are talking
to/ reading about and
therefore makes the
situation more personal.
She is also smiling which
may enable the reader to
feel more comfortable
and welcomed.
6. Suffolk One Sixth Form
(One)
Simple Masthead,
‘one’ which mirrors
the simple
appearance also.
Black and white

sophisticated and
professional.
Steers away any
ideas of the
school being
‘tacky’ or ‘cheap’,

topics drawing in
all types/ ages

informative layout.

enjoyable read.

shows a review for the
production, ‘GUYS AND
DOLLS’ which the school

will not only encourage

encourage anyone who
wants to do acting or
performing themselves.

Uganda with Ugandan

fun experience.
