School magazine; Final contents page and Contents and front cover mock up.

For the contents page i decided to keep the colours red and black against a white background to keep to the school colours. I wanted the contents page to look interesting and so i added photos and kept to the colour scheme.

Before creating for the front covers of our school magazine 'SFM' we discussed the outcomes we wanted from the front covers. I didn't want to make to much reference to school with the colours so that it seemed more mature for sixth from students and not just the regular school magazine.
I used the colour blue for the masthead as i decided that it was a neutral colour and would not be just associated with boys unlike if i would have used the colour pink which may have only attracted female readers.
By using the alliteration 'Teachers, trips and timetables' I decided it would interest readers more than a regular sentence as it is eyecatching.
I kept the barcode and date in the standard place and kept the coverlines school related.

Before creating the final magazine i made basic layouts. This gave me to a chance to think about how my articles would be situated and what would look best. As you can see for the contents page I did not stick to my mock up as i thought it looked un tidy.
As for the front page, I took my own photo for the front cover and kept to the same layout.
