Research Into Sixth Form Magazines

Research Into Sixth Form Magazines

I am currently researching Sixth Form magazines so that I can produce a great magazine cover and contents page for my preliminary task. 

This is the front cover of a school magazine, originally found at:

I have annotated the key features below which I plan on using in my own magazine cover

To give my study more depth, I then analysed another magazine cover:

I preferred this minimalist style to the first cover, and is something I would like to replicate in future work. 

I then continued to analyse the contents page of the same magazine issue, where I was a tad disappointed:

I felt that such a large editor's note looked unprofessional, I also didn't think much of the colour scheme- which could have easily been a continuation of  the dark blue and bright white, rather than using a stoic black and white.

I then created a word cloud with key words for a magazine cover:

Introduction

My name is Adam, I am a media student at The Fallibroome Academy.

This blog charts my progress in response to AS coursework brief PRINT.

The brief is:
a preliminary task - to produce the front cover and contents page of a new school magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in MCU plus some appropriately laid out text and a masthead.
The main task is to design the front cover, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine which is to include a minimum of 4 original images.
