Date/Issue Nothe date and issue number is not mostly shown on the cover but on the right side to make sure that the front

cover is not crammed by too many text. this also used to keep the issue up to date.

slogan - it shows a motivating message

especially to students and parents who read

this magazine. It is written in small text to show that it’s not that

important but it is aimed at students.

mastheadthe title “Inpress" is a pun

because of the word “Impress”.It sounds positive.The masthead has a square

layout to make the front cover more business-like.

Also, the masthead is used as a logo for the school

magazine which makes the logo recognisable to readers. I

will add a logo for my own school magazine.

ImageThe magazine

chooses to have two students in

front of the cover with their prom dresses in order to represent the magazine as not dull and boring. The background is faded but the main image isn’t which uses the image as the

center of attention.

Colour- the magazine uses white colours on the texts to represent the magazine as plain,simple and pure with no hidden agendas.

Most importantly, the colour is used to make sure that the information is highlighted clearly to read. also, a green colour scheme is used to define the positivityof the school magazine as well as providing a colourful background with the main image.

Font & Languagethe font is mostly in bold

and plain to make the magazine formal. The

magazine is not colloquial; they are not exaggerated as it only

includes brief information that is not biased.

Layout- the layout is very simple as it doesn’t have

much cover lines to overlap on the image.

contents page

Language- in this content of issue

36, it uses a range of positive

vocabulary such as “triumph” to make

the school look more achieving in

“national contests”. the text is written in formal language to make it more appealing

to not only students, but for

parents.

cross media the school uses cross- media

advertisement to promote their new app. This has proven useful as those who cannot have or tried to access these newsletters can instead get it

quicker on mobile phones.

Pictures- these are used in this content to tell a story on a particular topic such as “best

selling authors share their secrets with our

students”.

Colour the colours are very similar with the front over as they

keep the colour scheme the same to make the contents of the magazine

not too perfect.

Mastheadthe masthead

“under the microscope” is similar to the

“inpress” magazine as it has

a pun- it’s suggesting to the

reader that exciting things are happening in the

school. the masthead has a

small microscope icon to make it

stand out.

Colourthe colour chosen for

this magazine is purple to represent the creativity of this

magazine as well as matching the school logo. white colour is

used in fonts to make it simple and clean.

Fontthe font for this

magazine is more smoother and less formal but written in bold. this makes

the magazine more laid-back.

Cover line/ cell linesthere are 3 cover lines highlighted in purple

with white text and that the text size is bigger;

they use this to mention the exclusive events that had happened in the school. They cover lines have been added downwards and only

includes little information so that readers can find out

more inside.

Imageit shows a student looking through a microscope. The

reason is that they want the front cover

to represent their school as eager on learning something

new.

Language- there isn’t much text to

show this , but from the cover, I

can learn from this as it is less formal.

Date/ Issue no- similarly, this is

also the same size as the one in the

other magazine as it is kept small with shows no

relevant information.

Layoutthe layout looks easy;

there are not much cell lines to read as they were put on the same position on the left hand side of

the cover.

contentPicturesthere are not much

pictures on this page as it mostly contains a

vast amount of information. It only

shows a picture of the “new parent

governor”. this is possibly used to

inform parents and students with

important information.

Colour- they start to use other

colours such as dark purple and

dark blue to make this page more colourful and

interesting to look at. For my own magazine, i will

decide on colours that are appealing

for a school magazine.

Link to social networking sites This school has their own social

networking page on Twitter

so that they can reach their students via

social network as 70% use the internet. for my contents page, I

am going to add a link on a page in popular

site such as Facebook.

Masthead- the masthead looks

really plain. for this, i will make my

masthead slightly more simple as

most school magazines go with

the same style.

Imageit hasn’t got

any main image as they chose a picture

that is not edited through

photo manipulation programmes

such as Photoshop to make it more

unique.

Sloganthe slogan “New Era

Begins at School” sounds serious- they

included a line underneath “at

School”. this is clearly aimed at students .

Colourit is filled with warm colours

such as orange and yellow in

the background in order to

symbolise their school as

confident and as self-reliant.

Link to social networking sites

this is similar to the second magazine; if

students is looking for more information, they

can always look in their Twitter page to

keep themselves updated.

Address- they also have a link

to their website- i will also add the

address in my magazine cover to make it more

informative.

Cover lines- there are no cover lines for this cover, only information on the

bottom left .

contents

Languagethe heading

“Students crack egg problem” is

a pun for cracking an egg.

this is used to make the

magazine light-hearted. Most of

the text is in formal. From this, i will add a little

humour.

Pictures- the images are

edited to make the contents page more

perfect and neat. To make my

magazine stand out, i will edit the

photos that i have taken.
