This is the potential layout for my magazines front page. I believe that I have left sufficient space for my feature article (bottom right) whilst also including space for my medium close up of a student which is vital to meet the guideline. I believe that this layout is typical of most other educational magazines and it provides clarity to the audience. The headline is central because it is the focus point and attracts attention making the article stand out.

This is my completed front page and is a near enough how I planned it to look like. The colours used is to keep a constant and common theme throughout. The use of a key in the logo shows that education is key to succeeding in life. The different images used all have common mise-en-scene of school life. Furthermore they show common life within a school and aid in providing ideas for feature articles etc…

This is the potential layout for my contents page. There is clear structure as if not to confuse the reader and to provide clarity. The use of a sidebar and taking up a majority of the page shows the importance of the information provided. Also the use of basic shapes is to show that the page has clear structure and as to show the importance of individual articles.

The finished contents page is not dissimilar to the planned layout. There is a continued theme of colour in the side bar. This layout meets the brief as it is only supposed to be of planning stages and of basic information of what will be entailed in the completed product.
