Idea 1




Idea 2



Idea 3

These are my 3 ideas for the magazine cover, and out of the 3, I chose 'Idea 2' because i think it would attract the audience more, over the other two designs, however i am going to include a few elements from 'Idea 3', such as; the story headline in an outlined text box.



I decided to choose the title 'Goffs Express', out of the five possible options because i think it's simple and gets straight to the point, it includes the name of the school and the use of the word 'express' meaning it is the latest news delivered quickly to the students. I chose for the font to be bold and in a almost graffiti style to attract the target audience (the students).


The main story feature stated on the magazine cover is one of the latest changes occurring in the school at the moment, and the headline questions if it was a good decision. I chose this headline out of the five because i think it would entice the audience to read it more seeing as it involves them in the situation. I've outlined the story headline, and made the font bigger and bolder for the word 'uniform' to make it all stand out and attract the viewers.


The center of the page will have a picture that is obvious to represent the story headline, in this case i would choose to use a medium-shot of a year 7 student, as they would be a good representative being new to the school, and not experiencing the previous uniform.

On the right-hand side of the page there will be a small text box showing a few of the contents in the magazine.


My Contents Page' Ideas

 

Idea 1

Idea 2
          
                                                     

Idea 3
                                                                    
Out of these three contents pages, i am going to choose 'idea 3', because the title font would match the magazine cover font. I have decided to make it big and bold, aswell as, on an angle to stand out, it wouldn't be like a typical contents page that way. Surrounding this would be the page numbers and the titles of the articles on those pages, and in addition I would include smaller images in relevance to the other stories inside the magazine.
