Preliminary Contents Page

This preliminary contents page is important towards the development of my overall project. Although this is not an important piece of work it will help me for when it comes to the music magazine contents. This is because from this I have started to develop my understanding on the layout and what is required within a contents page. This has a simple design that is at the same eye catching as it has carried on the theme from the front page. This is an important concept as it allows the audience to have a sense of familiarity throughout the magazine. The images that have been included also incorporate this sense of knowledge of the school.

Life at St Gregorys - School Magazine...

This final copy of my school magazine puts together all I have learnt about making a magazine eye-catching and appealing to its audience. This has been achieved through the use of a quote; this helps to make the audience interested as it gives an insight to what is within the magazine. The use of images helps to portray the overall ambience of school life, and shows what kind of impression the school wants to give. The images show the students being: practical in lessons, helping others, and working well together. This representation of the school is a positive one and one which will help promote the school. The school logo is also an important factor that helps make the front page successful, as it promotes a sense of familiarity towards the school. Simple things like the background colour help to make the front page stand out, it also helps to make the text bold. All of these elements help to make this school magazine front page eye-catching and appealing to the audience to make an overall positive impression of 'Life at St Gregory’s' magazine.

School Magazine Front Page Mock-Up...

This mock up of my school magazine front page is very basic, but it contains all that is needed for an outline. It shows what layout I am aiming to achieve, and what it will contain. It demonstrates the practicality of the front page through the use of the colours that it will have in the final piece. This also helps to ensure that I will include all of the important factors of the research that has been carried out on school magazines.
