2. Name
•HCTC Magazine
•CP Magazine
•Harris Weekly
•The News of Harris
•Harris Entertainment
•Grand Palace
•Crystal News
These are the various options I have opted to choose
from for the title of the magazine. All of which
immediately indicates that this magazine is in relation
to the school. However, not all of the names
mentioned can be used such as ‘The News of Harris’;
this is long and remotely uninteresting of which
would make it assumed that this magazine is not to
the readers liking. It also doesn’t stand out of which
is necessary to have many readers to grow
accustomed to the magazine. Other titles such as ‘CP
Magazine’ is simple and significant to the purpose of
the magazine. The initials of ‘CP’, represent Crystal
Palace, shows the reader that this is a magazine
which represents their school; this of which is
effective to use the initials of the school name for the
name of the school magazine. This is the reason why I
have chosen the title of ‘CP Magazine’ for the name
of my magazine. Not only does it stand out from the
others but is bold and significant. It is also eye
catching and immediately recognisable by others.

3. Font
The Font mood board shows a
variety of different fonts, which
I have opted to choose from for
the title block. The title will
need to be bold and eye
catching of which will need to
immediately grab the readers
attention. There are various
types of fonts, of which can be
simple yet daring such as Arial,
this of which is simple yet bold
however, it is not one of the
most eye catching of fonts of
which would cause the reader
not to read the magazine. The
fonts that I have chosen are:
•Century Gothic
•Eras Light ITC
I have chosen these fonts
because they are readable and
understandable by the reader
of which is a necessity for a
magazine. These fonts are going
to be made to be bold and eye
catching to the reader as shown
below:

MAGAZINE

4. Images
I have taken a variety of photos to be used for my
magazine however I have chosen the third picture for the
cover. This is because she is representing herself as a
working student in the correct uniform which will
encourage students to follow the same regulations. I will
also be using the first photo for the contents page
because of the same reason.

6. Colour Scheme
The colour scheme that I will be using for the school magazine are yellows, green and white; this is because
these colours represent the school logo, which gives an immediate indication of what the magazine is
about and that it relates to the school. The colours are going to be bold and eye catching to the reader,
which will entice them to purchase the magazine. The colours will be the same on every page, to keep it
simple and basic and would allow readers to be accustomed to these colours in relation to the purpose of
the magazine.
