Analysis of my School Based Contents Page

Done by Eman Shah

Heading – ‘SALT’S ALERT CONTENTS 2014’ is clearly placed at the top of the page, informing the reader that this is what the page is for. If it was not there then maybe it would be hard to tell what the page was for. The font use is black and is bold, the colour of the font looks serious which makes it look formal as it is a school based contents.

Layout – The format is very clear. I think this is good as it will allow the reader to navigate through the magazine easily. This is suitable for the target audience who are students from the school, as the wont be wanting to waste time.

The colour scheme is in black and white which makes the page look very simple and more focused. The black writing on the white background looks striking, so it will be appropriate for all the students.

I have placed the masthead on the contents page as well because it makes the page look sophisticated and it will remind the reader what magazine they are reading.

These are called the sub images, I have taken the photograph’s which makes them original. In the first picture you can see a sixth form girl, she is dressed very smart which I think makes the school environment stand out and look smart itself. In the second picture that I have taken you can see two boys walking down the stairs talking to each other. They are both sixth form students as well because of the way they are dressed (smart). They are wearing their student lanyards which will show to the reader that they are students from the school. The first boy is of a white ethnicity and the second boy is of an Asian ethnicity. This will show that the school is of multiethnic backgrounds, which will look good if people are wanting to apply to this school.

I have put the slogan here as well because I would like the reader to remember the slogan for a long time.
