Rough sketch of my magazine Contents Page

There will be many things that will be regular content in my magazine. For example there will always be a medium close up as my main picture on my front cover, this will also always be of a school girl in uniform however it will be a different student each time. My magazine is going to be published monthly as this way it will get more attention and there will be more chance to have more information and achievements in it.

Rough sketch of my magazine Front Cover

Title of magazine, mise-en-scene and Coverlines for Front Cover

Task 1

The title for my new school magazine is "Weather Wins".

The mise-en-scene of my magazine front cover is going to be straight forward and simple as i want it to appeal to students aswell as parents, carers and teachers. My main image is going to be of a school girl in uniform, medium close up, this is as it is a school magazine therefore it has to have connotations of school. Title is going to be at the top in bold writing.

I am going to have 8 coverlines on my front cover as this is about the same amount on other successful magazine front covers and i think it works well.

My coverlines are as follows:

• Our School's Success
  
• Top Ofsted Inspection
• Ice Radio's Hits
• Outstanding Exam Results..Yet Again!
• We now have new clubs
• The Girls Sporting Acts
• Staff Stars In Their Eyes
• New Healthier Canteen Lunches For All
