A masthead- let hand of the magazine Some sell lines- highlighted in orange A main cover line- “vice by nevada” Price - £3.40- price not too high so it suggests that it’s for teens. Do you think the design is convincing? The design is some what convincing as it uses a main image a mid close-up, barcode at the bottom of the page, masthead that takes up a bit of the magazine, some sell lines just above the barcode, a main cover line “vice by nevada” above the sell lines and price at the top of the page. However the fact that the main image looks like it’s been taken on a mobile phone and the font is laid out does not appeal to me and may not appeal to others. It also doesn’t look convincing as a magazine for example the logo looks like it about 10 minutes on paint.

Masthead The masthead “choosing a school for your child Victoria” covers one quarter of the magazine cover. It is in a blocked colour backgrounded by

white.

ArticlesThe articles on this magazine are all about education and how to choose the right school for your child.

Main image The main image signifies that is about school. The image also relates to the colour scheme blue, white and red.It draws attention away from the cover lines as they blend in which isn’t good. But on the other hand the main image relates to the what the magazine is about which is good.

Cover linesSome of the cove lines are effective in drawing you in as they are in bold red or blue. Each of the cover lines are in bold capital letters drawing the eye of the reader.

ColoursThe colour of the magazine match the colours of the uniform the girl in the image is wearing.

Body language The body language of the student in the image suggests that she happy and ready to learn.

What did your questionnaire tell you?
