This document summarizes the process of planning and creating a school magazine, including research, planning, and finished products. It describes researching codes and conventions, planning sections and a title, taking photos for the magazine, and using a friend as a cover model with a school book prop. An evaluation notes this was the first attempt at making a school magazine using PicMonkey, and the creator is pleased with the overall results.

2. Model is wearing a
uniform to
highlight and
present that the
magazine is a
school magazine.
The models direct
gaze and smiling
facial expression
indicates to
parents that she is
happy and she
enjoys school.
Editors may have
chosen this image
to persuade
readers that their
daughters will or
already do enjoy
attending the
school.
The use of the feminine
colours e.g. pink and
purple connotes that
the school is an only
girls school.
The simple effective
and neat organised
structure highlight and
promote the
organisation and
sophistication of the
school.This has
possibly been done to
attract and persuade
parents that the school
is a good school to their
daughter too.
The puffs on the left hand side of
the page highlight the fact that the
school is focused on giving the best
opportunities to your daughter
“How your child can get ahead.”
the inclusive language persuades
the reader to send their child this
school.

3. The masthead is
behind the models
head possibly
suggesting that it is
a well known
magazine.
Bold bright colours
such as : yellow,
white and pink.
Have been used to
make the magazine
‘pop’ and stand out
to new readers.
Possibly done to
increase sales.
The model is
smiling and has a
direct gaze this
suggesting that
the model is
confident
academically his
broad posture
also suggests
this.
The props e.g. Books
remind the reader that
it is a school magazine
Books relating to ->
academic education.
This use of
iconography allows the
target audience to be
identified.Which, since
it being a ‘collage’
magazine, is targeted
and male and females
18+
The use of the different
colours ( black ,yellow & pink)
suggest that this is unisex
targeted magazine.

4. Layout is structured and it looks
like newspaper.
Secondary images are all over the
cover there is no central image .
These secondary images suggest
that the well the school works
with community it also highlights
the ongoing history the school
making which creates a positive
image of the school.
The use of the multi-coloured
background makes the magazine
look vibrant and creates a very
welcoming and friendly
atmosphere and tone
The white used in the title makes
the masthead standout meaning
that is easily recognizable for new
readers.

10. I used codes and conventions I have learnt in lesson and applied them to my
magazine such as:
-Date
-Barcode
-Anchorage text (triple)
-Puffs
I used My close friend, Deisy Rojas as the cover model for my magazine we
used her school book as a prop to highlight that my magazine is specifically
a school magazine.
On a whole I am pleased with my work as this was my first attempt to
making a school magazine using pic monkey.
