Title of the magazine as the header because it is the first thing the reader would read and take notice of.

Margin that makes the magazine look more professional as it uses the same yellow colour and the titles and adds something extra to the page to stop it looking empty or sparse. This image is of a

student lying down on books listening to music and smiling. Her smiling shows that she is happy in the school environment that is relaxed as she is lying down and listening to music.

The title uses a font that looks like it is hand written. This can make the magazine more personal and relatable to the students reading it as it could look like that another student has written it.

The font used to say “Class of 2009” is a classic font such as Times New Roman or Bembo. This makes the magazine have a classic and professional look as these fonts are very often used on professional magazines. However the “2009” looks similar to these fonts but looks more hand drawn so it makes the magazine more appropriate for it’s audience which is students as it is more personal than it being made to look very professional and it is unlikely for the student to expect it to be very professional.

The title and footer consists of a different font per letter and each letter is on a piece of paper that is meant to look like that it has be torn out of a magazine or books, this makes the magazine look more personal to the students that will read as it could look like that another student has done it by hand.

The pictures are done in the same way as the title has as it looks like they have been torn out of a magazine or book. They are also layered on top of each other and on a piece of lined paper which makes this front page look like a scrap book or a school book because lined paper is often used in school. This can be more appealing for students as it may be more down to earth for them than it would be if it were designed to look very professional.

The school emblem/logo is in the centre of the page. This is because it is more visually appealing for something to be in the centre line of the page so it makes the magazine more aesthetically pleasing to the reader.

The pictures are also only of the outside of the school, instead of pictures of students or the inside. This could be less appealing to the students as it is impersonal and could be interpreted as not looking like a school magazine.
