The girl is positioned in the 
middle of the page and is 
looking directly at the 
customer/user. She is also 
smiling at the camera 
suggesting the school is a 
happy place. 
The left 3rd has articles all 
over page which is aimed 
at the target audience 
(sixth formers) The articles 
are about students, 
popular TV and creativity 
topics. 
The direct address is 
displayed in the articles 
that are being shown on 
the front page. The articles 
are aimed at us as it says 
"you" and "yours" 
On most magazines you 
will find a barcode 
somewhere on the page, 
however this magazine 
doesn't have one, this may 
be due to the magazine 
being an online magazine. 
Typically the masthead is at 
the top of the magazine
Again the Masthead is at 
the top of the page to 
show that it is the contents 
page. The issue date is also 
included next to the 
masthead. 
The pages/articles that are 
the main headline have all 
been numbered to show 
what page it is on, this is so 
people know what page a 
certain article is on. Also 
typically the most 
important articles would 
be at the beginning/top 
and the less important 
article would be put near 
the end. 
The contents page for this 
magazine shows more 
images than the front 
cover, this is to show more 
that is going on later in the 
magazine and can also be 
used to make the contents 
page look more full as 
most contents pages they 
don't have lots of images.
