Preliminary Task

Preliminary Task- School Magazine





















Whilst creating my school magazine, I took note of the codes and conventions of magazines (particularly school magazines) in order to align both my front page and contents with common properties of existing magazines. On the front cover, I used hexagonal frames to allow for the images to be at the forefront of the reader's attention, as well as using a rectangle frame to place emphasis on the main article inside the magazine. Alongside this, I used a consistent, blue colour scheme in order to from a distinct house style, which not only appeals to Whitley Bay High students, but helps to form a link between the colour scheme and the school, helping for the students to associate themselves with the identity that is being presented.
