School magazine Research

Today we spent a lesson researching different school Magazines to collect ideas from. These are a few examples of the ones i found...


looking at other schools magazines has given me a rough idea of what is appropriate on the front cover. Most of them have featured a student who almost represents what a school pupil from their school looks like. I would like to use this idea on my own magazine.

I like the way this school magazine has made the front look cover busy and interesting. They have featured pupils looking happy which is a good way to promote any school.   This magazine doesn't involve a lot of writing on the front cover which i think will attract the pupils to read it as well as the parents. It has made the images black and white but involved bright colours to give off a positive impression.






Here is another school magazine that i found. Its title informs us that it is a school specialised in sports. The bold font is attractive and colourful, in my own school magazine i would like to use lots of colour as i feel it makes the magazine look more interesting. They have also featured a picture of one of their pupils on the front cover like the other magazine that i researched. However this magazine involves a lot more writing compared to the other one. I like how they give you a rough idea of what is inside.











This school magazine features a young pupil in the background of this front page. They have presented the schools logo clearly. I like the range of colours that have been used on this cover, they are bright and attractive which creates a positive mood. I like how bold and big the title is and would like to use this in my own school magazine cover.
