to read and stand
out against the

Photo

magazine over any other.
Misc-en-scene the
facial expression is
happy to let people
know this a happy
school. Standing
behind a familiar
background (birds eye
view of school) to
make readers feel at
home.

3. Style is serious but
enjoyable. The
magazine is filled
with information
but fun to read at
the sane time.
Filler to cover up
empty space in the
page.
House style: Spelling
and grammar should
be correct as it for a
formal audience.
Audience: This is
aimed at school
students. Or, any
adults who's
interested on what's
happening at school.
Added my logo on to
magazine so readers
can easily identify it

4. I used the select icon to
drop and drag pictures into
place.
I used the area crop
tool to cut out my
feature article
photo.
I used the colour
change tool to edit
colour on my page.
I used the
magnetic lasso
to cut out
specific parts of
my images
I used the word tool
to add text to
image.
I used the filler to
make the
background for my
contents page.

5. Conventions I've used
 In my masthead I’ve used big eye catching colours to
draw attention
 In my feature article photo I've used a mid shot to
capture the happy and positive attitude of the student.
 On my contents page I've used a filler picture to cover
up an empty area.
 I've used block covers to directly contrast the colour of
my font
 I've used bold typography to be eye catching and
interesting.
 I've used the convention of making my feature article
photo the main item on the page

6. Things I could've done better
 On my front cover I could've found a better background to
contrast the words and make them stand out more.
 Could've cropped my feature article photo with more
accuracy.
 I should’ve used more creative fonts on my front cover and
contents page.
 I shouldn’t have stretched the picture in my contents page as
its now distorted.
 I should've found a more appropriate background for my
contents page so I didn’t have to use a block colour
background to make the words visible.
 I should've put my logo on my front cover as it needs to stand
out, its not standing out on the contents page.
