Research #1 - Front Cover


This is a magazine designed by a student which is one of the school magazines I looked at for research. It isn't very detailed and some of the text doesn't go well with the background. The colours are bright and help attract the audience, the text is less visible when laid over darker areas of the background, the yellow text at the bottom is also hard to read when part of it is over the white background. Hardly any basic conventions are applied, one being the heading placed on the top of the page. A lure is used above the text on the left side of the page, this a convention of magazines. Cover lines are used to show what stories are inside and attract readers who might want to know about them. The house style used is black and yellow, these are two colours that are commonly used in magazines , but usually include white also, the use fo only two colours is rather bland. The text is too close to the image of teh firl and even very slightly goes over it, the text should be wrapped in order for it to look more professional and clean.
