School Magazine

First Draft of Contents and Double-Page Spread

Contents

This is the first draft of my school magazine cover.As this is the first initial draft(s) of my magazine I did not feel the need to use colour, as I wanted to use these drafts as more of a basic representation of my school magazine layout.

Contents Heading

As the heading of the contents page I have used the ‘XL’ part of the masthead and incorporated it in and around my magazine (where relevant). I have partitioned the two words ‘XL’ and ‘CONTENTS’ and swapped the background colour to make the words stand out allot more.

Contents Pictures

I have used a variety of different pictures in my contents page to indicate the different types of happening’s in the magazine. I have also used pictures to try and be more ‘friendlier’ and appealing to the more younger readers.

Contents Page Listings

I have copied the more conventional approach of the page listing section of the contents by highlighting the page numbers on the left and the name of the article in smaller body font.

School Magazine ArticleI Have followed the theme of the contents page using the same type of heading for the magazine article.

I have used the space available to create an interview with an person, I have interviewed for this article one of my fellow students.

Article Picture

On the opposite page of the article I have incorporated a whole page picture of the person who was interviewed, this would appeal to a reader who would like to see a what the interviewee looked like.
