The document discusses the key design elements of a school magazine cover and contents page. It describes the feature photo, masthead, plug, puff, mise-en-scene, mode of address, and sell. For each element, it provides a brief explanation of how it benefits the reader and things that could be improved. Suggested improvements include using clearer photos, more eye-catching fonts and colors, adding more details in the text, and overall making sure each element is cohesive and effectively communicates the purpose and contents of the magazine.

1. Feature photo which covers the whole
of my front cover, this allows the reader to get
a full size image of part of the school so you
can see the picture nice and clear.
Things to improve:
• Make sure the picture is in a close
shot of the person on your feature
photo not on a long shot.
• Make sure the reflection of the
people taking the photo isn't on the
picture.

2. Masthead is the title on the top of my
magazine ’’William De Mag!” this is effected
because the reader can see what my magazine
is called and if it stands out then you will
remember what it is called when asked about
it.
Things to improve:
• I could change the color of the
title so that it stands out more.
• Also I could change the font of
the writing because some
people might not be able to
read it.

3. Plug is the writing on the bottom
of the mag which links with small
picture in the corner; this benefits
the reader because you can see
what is inside the mag by just
looking on the front cover.
Things to improve
on:
• I could of made the picture a
bit clearer so that all readers
can make out what the
picture is.
• I could improve the plug by
putting a bit more detail into
the writing instead of just
“new librarian!”

4. Puff is the slogan on the side of the
magazine “Fresh News First Out” this increases
the statues of the magazine because if you
have a catchy slogan then you’re more likely to
remember it and likely to remember the
magazine.
Things to improve:
• I could make the puff rhythm more so people
would remember it more when talking about
my magazine.
• I could change the color of the puff so it is not
as confusing to read if your just glimpsing at it
at a supermarket.

5. Mise-en-scene is the meaning of one
of my pictures which is the first little picture of
the doors because it shows that anyone is
welcome at the school regardless of anything
and that we are a welcoming school.
Things to improve on:
• Give a picture with more
meaning and a reason behind.
• Get a better picture and make
sure the person looks a camera.

6. Mode of address is how my
magazine is presented as speaking wise; my
magazine is presented in a formal manor so it
suits all kind classes so everyone can read it
because it is nice and clear.
How to improve:
• I need to make sure all
my words a formal and
not just here and there.
• I need to make sure the
picture links with the
text and maybe right it in
more detail.

7. Puff is the insight into what is inside the
magazine with short snippets of writing and
the page number so if the reader wants to
read that particular story then they have the
page number to go to.
How to improve:
• Write in more detail so the reader
knows in full detail what is in the
magazine.
• Make the writing bigger so
everyone can read it.

8. Sell is what sells the magazine the unique
feature that sets it aside from all other
magazines in my contents page I have a lot of
pictures so that people who don’t want to read
as much don’t have to suitable for a school
magazine.
How to Improve:
• Give it more unique features so it
stands out.
• Maybe have a few more words so it
targets all audience.

9. Tools I have used….
In my contents page and front
cover I used the text tool as my
main tool because I was writing all
over the magazine to give the
reader information.
I could of used the eraser tool and
the magic wand tool to remove
backgrounds from images or want
to crop something out.
I could have used the color bucket tool to fill in a
blank background so it gives it a bit of color.
