school magazine

Research + Planning I didn't do any planning for this project I just went straight into it. As for research I looked at magazines available to the public and studied their layout on the front cover and what text they used to grab the attention of their target audience. I studied the magazines that are available to us at school and looked at the colors they used such as a bright reds which stand out against a white background. Rock magazines examples include deep reds blacks and greys, the background are usually a picture white not lot of white or lighter colors. Then I studied the contents page and the feature and colors used on them. The magazines I studied had a continuous theme from he front cover to the contents which makes the magazine flow well such as the headings and color theme of the magazine. only the layout of the page changed to mix it up a bit which makes the magazine more interesting so the reader doesn't get bored. One of the problems I faced was making my magazine a school magazine and appropriate for that genre. The magazines I studied and researched before were all music magazines so I couldn't make many links and similarities between the two type's. I struggled to create my contents page as I didn't know the type of features a school magazine would include as their different to music and public magazines. I struggled to balance appropriate content for a school magazine and more relaxed social content. To fix this problem I should of researched school magazines and analyzed them instead of music magazines. Problems
