Analysis for Front Cover and Contents of Sixth Form Magazine

Final Contents Page for Sixth Form Magazine

Final Front Cover for Sixth Form Magazine

Making of my Front Cover

So far I have only put the title on my cover. I have chosen to use these colours for the masthead because they are natural as we can tell that the season is changing because some of the leaves in the tree in the background are changing colour. By doing this it shows that the edition will be an autumn term edition. I have also chosen these colours because they are bright and bold. This means that it will stand out and catch the eye of the audience.

My Flat Plan for my Contents Page

These images are going to be used in my contents page.  

I have chosen the first image as one of the images because Bethany and Bethan look happy and you can see on their lanyards that they are from Southend High School for Girls which is relevant as the magazine if for the school.

 I have chosen the second image of Bethany climbing up the stairs to be one of my images because she looks happy to be going to one of her lessons. She is holding her school bag and a folder, which gives a good impression about the school.

The third image is of Katy and Maisey looking at their homework outside the sixth form block. I have chosen this because the magazine is for the sixth form and they both look like they are happy about their homework which shows another good impression of the sixth form. 

This will be my image for my front cover. I have edited the image so that Maisey is more central to the magazine cover, so that she is the main focus of the front page. By darkening the image  it makes the colours in picture stand out more because they are brighter and bolder, therefore making the overall image more appealing to the buyer.
