Media studies!

My school magazine relates to existing examples of these media forms in ways like having only a few topics of interest that will be inside the magazine on the front. I have a large masthead on the left of my page vertically that has the school’s logo at the bottom of the masthead and at the top. I designed my front page like this because every other school magazine I see has the name of it either at the top or the bottom, and I think this is rather boring for every magazine to have this idea.
My central image is different to some other school magazines as you concentrate on the landscape instead of a student being portrayed. I think this gives a good effect as it shows the students reading the magazine part of the school that is sometimes never looked at. Although I do not have a central picture of a student I do in fact have pictures of three students on the page, but they are related more to the topic names next to them than to portray the image of a happy working student.
My mode of address is to the 6th form and parents/staff in Rego school. I have done this in a way that the language is simplistic but formal. I have also made sure that not much writing is on the front, using anchorage lines to grab the attention of the reader to delve in further to find out more on that article.

Conventions that I have included in terms of the following:
Design.
Mode of address.
Use of imagery.
