The Magazine: The Masthead and Magazine Front Cover and Contents Page.

The Magazine: The Masthead.

In class today we were deciding on a font for our masthead in our magazine and so we were asked to draw up three designs for the font i went for three quite different fonts that i thought would represent the school in different ways. The first, being quite light and curly showing the school being a place of enjoyment and welcoming to students. The second is the contrast to that, its bold but still playful, implying that the school is not a playground but a place to learn yet still somewhere you can have fun. The last being bold, yet contrasting at the same time but all illustrate that school is a place of enjoyment rather than a prison. 

Finally: My Magazine Front Cover and Contents Page.

My target audience is made up of both genders, but particularly females aged 15-18 because between those ages you are either preparing for exams or are sitting exmas. As to why my magazine is partially more for the female gender is because of the colour scheme pastel colous are in fashion at the moment and thus it is more likely for it to seem appealing to a younger female audience.
As you can see the main image of the girl laying on the floor represents how stressful exam season is to which is emphasised by the books lying on her to show that studying is tiring and exhausting. This is then further emphasised by the cover line, "Studying getting you down?" a pun at the photo because the girl is physically down on the floor. The photo i decided to edit with a blue fliter because I thought it would fit with the colour scheme.
The colour scheme i decided to go with was a mixture of pastel colours which would be found attractive to a young audience because pastel shades are very in fashion at the moment. There is a strong contrast between blue and pink because i want my magazine to not exclude genders.
The Masthead is made of very bold, flirty writing because i want it to be engaging with the audience. The colour is a pastel blue to continue my colour scheme.

For the contents page the colour scheme continues with the same filter on the photo. The photo is of another girl looking into the distance, I used a long mid-shot to take the photo because her clothing was quite dark and a long shot would be two distracting on the background.
