My school magazine follows most of the codes and conventions of a magazine. The masthead is placed in the left hand corner of the page and fills the top of the page. The issue date and number are placed underneath of the masthead. The main coverline is the boldest and largest text on the page and stands out from the rest of the text, the text also anchors the image and links them together. The main coverline runs across the main image and the other coverlines frame the main image. The size of the coverlines is 11pt. I have used the colours black and red as the main colours of the front cover as they are simple colours which will attract a various amount of readers. I have set my contents page out in to four columns across one page.

To follow the codes and conventions my main image for my contents page does not have any relation to the main image on the front cover. The word ‘contents’ is located at the top left of the page. The size of the contents is 11pt which follows the codes and conventions. I have a lot of white space underneath the contents so for the music magazine I will make sure that I have enough story lines to fill the whole white space.

To create my school magazine front cover I used software called Photoshop. I found this software easy to use as I had previously used it in other projects throughout school. To create my school magazine contents page I used software called Quark Xpress. I had never used this programme before but I found it easy to use as my teacher explained thoroughly how to use it before we started the task. I feel that I need to learn a lot more about the layout of a magazine before I create my music magazine. To make sure that I get the best grade I will choose colours carefully to make sure I attract the correct target audience. I will also make sure that my skills have progressed a lot more so I can get the best result that I can, to do this I will practise my skills more on Photoshop and Quark Xpress. To make sure that there is no white space on my music magazine contents page I will have extra contents features to use in case of this happening again.
