Final Contents Page 3!

This is going to be my proper contents page. The background colour is now a lighter gray, and this carries on from my front cover. It adds a bit of interest and light to the background.

Final Contents Page 2

This is my final contents page, but i have changed the white background to a dark gray. I think this is ok, as it carries on from my front cover, but it is a little too dark and looks depressing.

Final Contents Page

This is my final contents page. As you can see it carries on from my front cover and has the black and blue wording still. The 'contents' title is in black and blue and has the same font as on the title of my magazine. The contents page has three pictures, one of me and Aaron reading, a picture from the prom and a picture of Aaron and Amber. There are 9 articles and they are spread out and two of them are in blue.



This is my final magazine front cover. It shows a picture i took myself of Aaron in his school uniform. It is a medium close up. It has 4 article titles scattered around the picture i blue writing from 'dafont.com.' The title of my magazine is 'Rumours' and this is also blue and in a font from 'dafont.com.' There is also black font which at the top of the magazine. One says 'Biddulph High School Magazine', 'Free' and the date.

This is a presentation showing my images that i have taken and found that i might consider using on my front cover and contents page of my school magazine.

Second Mock Up Of Contents Page

This is my second mock up of a magazine contents page. This contents page relates to the magazine front cover. It has the black and blue wording and the page numbers are bolder and in blue. The font is the same as the font on the front cover.

Second Magazine Mock Up Front Cover

This is my second front cover which is different to the first one i did. The main difference is that the background is white instead of yellow. I have kept the black and blue wording and the title font that says 'Rumours' is slightly different to the font i have used before. This is in blue. Again, i have not used any pictures yet as i need to find my own.

First Mock Up Of Contents Page

This is my first contents page that matches my first front cover. It has a yellow background and black writing. The title 'Contents' is in the same font as the magazine title, and the font was off the 'da font' website. This page shows the titles of each page and the page numbers beside them. There is going to be two pictures on this page, but they are just boxes at the moment and i will take some pictures next week.

First Magazine Mock Up Front Cover

This is my first magazine idea front page. As you can see there isn't any pictures on it yet, as i need to take some of my own soon. I have a yellow background, blue and black in the 'Lucida Console' font. I have added four articles, 'Year 11's celebrate the end of year with prom!', 'Upcoming exams, how are the students feeling?', 'GCSE results, how did they do?' and 'Sports events!' The title 'Rumours' from the 'da font' website, is now blue and black to match my colour scheme.

Colour Scheme Ideas

These are the colour schemes that i may consider using. My favourites are the first and the fourth one. I'll decide what colours to use closer to the end of the project.

Font Ideas

These are some font ideas from the website 'dafont.com.' These fonts could all work well with my magazine and could be used for the title or other wording on it. My three favourites at the minute are the first, second and third fonts. I will choose my favourite closer to the end of the project.

Also, i need to think about what fonts i am going to use for the other wording. I have chosen 5 fonts that i like the look of.
Arial Black
Courier
Gill Sans Ultra Bold
Lucida Console
Rockwell

At the moment i am favouring 'Lucida Console'.

Second draft of a front cover of my magazine.

This is my second draft for a front cover of a magazine. As you can see there are some changes from the first one. The main one being that all my articles and pictures are swapped round.

First draft of a front cover magazine.

This is my first draft of a front cover for the magazine. It shows where everything is going to go on my front covrer. This will help me set out everything and it will give me something to go off.

Masthead Ideas

For my school magazine i needed to think of 4 title names for my magazine that i would consider using. I have come up with 4 that i'll list here:

BHS Weekly
Rumours
Impressions
BHS

My favourite so far is 'Rumours' and i'll consider them all when thinking of magazine ideas.

Preliminary task: Genre and Target Audience

The genre of my school magazine is going to be the school/college magazine so this means that the magazine will be based on this and everything to do with it.

The target audience of my magazine is teenagers over the age of 15 and students that go to Biddulph High School. The magazine, may also be helpful to the students parents.
