my school magazine mock ups

After creating mock-ups of two pre-existing music magazines and analysing two school newsletters, I created a mock up for my school magazine, applying the common elements I have found in music magazines and avoiding some of the negative aspects I have gathered from the school newsletters in order to give my school magazine a more professional feel to it. I have used guides in Microsoft publisher in order to better level out my magazines presentation. I will use a colour scheme of red blue and white as they are they are the schools signature colours. The central image of my front cover will also function as my background, this image will be of a science practical experiment, firstly as it will relate to the main contents of my magazine, and secondly because it will fit with my magazines ideology of showcasing Deyes as a school with a diverse range of academic subjects. The rest of the contents on this page will consist of a masthead, headlines about the main article and a summary of what’s inside which may draw the interest of the reader.

The contents page is a fairly simple layout, basically just two columns of lists of page numbers, with surrounding pictures that relate to some of the stories in order to grab the reader’s attention.
