This document outlines a mood board and preliminary tasks for designing a magazine for Harris Academy Crystal Palace. It discusses font styles and sizes, color schemes, elements that need to be included like a logo and title. Potential magazine names are presented such as "The Harris Times" and "HNM". A draft front cover layout and content page layout are shown. The final outcomes will be a front cover featuring Harris students and a content page listing titles and page numbers.

Task
The School Magazine:
Harris Academy Crystal
Palace

2. MOOD BOARD

3. TEXT FONT AND SIZES
Possible
Front styles
for
headline/title
Range of
different font
styles for text
I would need to consider
text that would be clear
and easy to read. Also I
would need to think about
text that would represent
the age of people the
magazine is aimed for.

4. COLOUR SCHEMES
These colours
are very bright
and vibrant which
can be used to
represent the
lower years
The more subtle/
calmer colours
could be more for
the senior school
students such as
the post 16
This green colour
pallet would be
good as the
traditional colours
of Harris crystal
palace is mainly
green with yellow
and black.

5. The Things I would need to
include….
 A logo
 Background picture
 Relevant magazine name
 Relevant titles
 Students
 Catchy news.

6. Possible Magazine names
 The Harris Times- This is an issue that can be released every school term. I
have included the name Harris as it is the name of the school the magazine is for. This gives a clear
indication that the magazine is about or for the students of that school. ‘The Times’ is a very well known
newspaper so by including this into the title creates a feel of recognition.
 HNM-
This stands for ‘Harris News Monthly’ indicating that the magazine would be issued every
month. Once again the name of the academy has been included to show that the magazine is based on the
on goings of Harris.
 Harris Weekly-’Harris Weekly’ would be released once every week as suggested in
the name.
 The Catch Up!- This has a young and school like- feel to it
