Preliminary Magazine Cover & Evaluation.

The magazine cover we used, features the main image of a sixth form student. The image is in conjuction with the main headline of looking at the new heads of house (with the mise-en-scene coming in the form of the lanyard round her neck to express she is a "model student"). The colour scheme used is red which I feel was a good decision as it means that any student can easily identify that this magazine is reflective of the school and that all stories inside are related to the school and is also bold an eye catching.

The 'pugs and puffs' around the edge are all reflective of the codes and conventions of standard magazines, which I feel was good. "African Adenture" and "The Wonder of Wiggins" are both alliterative and so are immeadiatly more accessible to the reader reading them. The real life story of "My mother won the raffle 12 Times in a row!" is humourous showing a more soft side to a school magazine which would appeal more to a child-targeted audeicne and show that against the stereotype of a school magazine that it is all work.
