My Preliminary Work ...

I created a school magazine for Heworth Grange Comprehensive School; the school which I attend. I would have liked to have been able to devote more time into my front cover.

I used the school colours: blue and yellow. I used an attractive model who is staring directly out at the audience, this is because she appeals to the audience.

I also used a traditional magazine convention; a yellow border across the top. This contains writing to show what else is in my magazine.

I used bright colours to protrude from the page and appeal to my audience.

My magazine was created for Heworth Grange students as it contains information on the school.

I used storylines which I thought the pupils would want to read about and what they would be intrigued by.

I used shadow around the image boxes and around the star which has 'issue 1' written inside, this is to make these certain things stand off the page.

I tilted two of the images to break the convential layout and make it appealing to the eye.
