Mock Contents Page

This is a mock-up for my contents page:

 

 

Mock Title Page

This is a mock up for my title page. I haven't yet decided on a colour/font scheme, but I will try to by tomorrow.

The centre shot of a student is from the internet, and I intend to photograph a student myself for my final cover.

Draft Title Page

In my magazine I want to address issues that I am interested in myself as a student.

Focus points should include:

• CV/University applications
• Anti-Bullying (campaign)
• Health issues
• Gap years/travelling

Here is a mock up cover for my magazine, currently titled 'The Big Idea':

I would like my contents page to share a similar scheme, as well as using the same font style aswell as similar colours- despite this mock-up being in black and white.

Contents Page

Contents pages give a brief list of what's inside the magazine.

Below is a contents page from the Lewisham College magazine.

Feature of a contents page:

• Must contain articles featured on cover
• The contents page also features a masthead in the same or very similar font to the cover page
• Should include photos with captions
• Article titles and their page numbers
• Promotional offer links/logos of companies

I also think that it is necessary to layout the contents page neatly, to create an impression of tidiness within the school. Articles may also be organised into catorgories with separate sub-headings to give a good impression of the school.

Preliminary Homework - Analysis of a School Magazine

This is my analysis of the Ridgewater College magazine:

Practise Analysis

To practise analysing magazine covers for the preliminary task, I also analised a prospectus cover and nursary magazine.

 

 

 

The nursary magazine cover is made using bright pink and blue colours and contains a centre shot montage of a baby looking curious.

 

 

 

 

The prospectus cover is very tidy, in comparison to the nursary cover, and gives a strong impression of students at the school being recognisably smart.
