Preliminary Magazine Cover: Page layout, Image layout, Color scheme and Master Head Font.

When I was choosing my magazine cover layouts I researched  from a number of different school magazine. But it’s not just school magazines that would take the layout that I used in the final product.  here are a few of the cover layouts that I wanted to replicate in my final piece.

When I was making the magazine cover and the condense pages I changed the different styles of magazine and ended up that the 2^nd cover option was the best in my opinion. It made the magazine have a modern smart view to the school magazine. And this is what I wanted for my target audience. The colour scheme that I chose for the magazine cover and the contents page are the same colours that the school follows, blue, white, black colour scheme.  This colour scheme was used to when the target audience sees the cover they will know that it was from Biddulph high school. The master head that I chose came from a number of attempts, much like the layout of cover I chose a few of the text from www.dafont.com and tried them out to find the one that looked the best.  The image that I chose for the front cover came from a number of photos that was taken at a photo-shoot that we did at the begging of the year and when it came to making the cover I thought that this photo was the better laid out than the others, and fitted into the layout structure that I had chosen.

These are the three different master head fonts that I had to choose for my fish product of my cover and the contents page. 

title of the magazine 

The reason that I chose my name of the school magazine. When I was choosing the name for my magazine, I wanted to choose a name of the magazine that was simple. But people will know what it is when they first see it. Having it called ‘’BH6 WEEKLY’’ it shows the audience that it is specifically aimed at people that go to the sixth form or people that want to join the sixth form in the future. This is very important as it help not to just advertise the magazine but the school possibly helping the school to gain more pupils for the school.
