2. Front cover
Masthead- easy to red,
big font and different
colour to stand out

school, the subject of
the magazine
Feature article photo- big
and central to stand out
Cover lines- giving an
insight of what the
magazine contains to
persuade customers to
buy it

font, looks smart to
represent a smart school
Mise-en-scene- facial
expression is happy to let
people know the schools

to learn
Style- school colours as a
colour scheme
3. Contents page

and bolder font to
stand out.
School logo to keep
the theme throughout

easy to read therefore
easy to find the
information of what is
on each page

4. Photoshop tools
I used the select tool
to move my layers to
the place I needed
them
I used the cropping
tool to crop my
images to the size I
wanted
I used the text tool
to add a masthead
and cover lines on
my front page, and
for the headline
and text on my
contents page
I used this
tool to set the
background
colour on my
contents page
5. Improvements
If I had more time to improve my front cover and contents page of the
magazine I would do some things differently…
• I would have used the quick selection tool to select the main person in the
picture and change the background of my feature article photograph.
• I would edit the font in the masthead to make it more exciting and stand
out.
• I would also add a plug and puff to my front cover.
• Make my images are less pixelated.
• Take my feature article photo still as a mid shot but at a better angle.
• I would also use different types of fonts to make it look more interesting.
6. Conventions
• I used big eye catching font for the masthead to draw attention.
• I put the school logo onto my front page and contents page to make it
relevant to the school and more professional.
• I used school colours so my magazine relates to the school.
• My feature article photo represented a happy student at the school which
would help the reader know what the school is like.
• I used white text to stand out on dark coloured backgrounds that is easy to
read.
• I used images of people at school and the sixth form looking like they’re
enjoying themselves to let people know it is a happy place to be.
