Today, I was looking at magazines from King Edwards VI High School. In each magazine there was similar content.
I took notes on what was included with in the magazine to give me a rough idea of what could be included in my own magazine that will be made.
A few things that was common is each magazine that was looked at was:
Notices and events
Competitions
Images
Contents page
Interactions
This is the 2006 front cover of the magazine that I analysed.

This is the 2006 front cover of the magazine that I analysed.
My first thoughts of this magazine is that having pictures of students that attended this school in the background was a good idea however the colour that was chosen made the front cover quiet dull and made the magazine seem boring which gave a bad first impression of the front cover.
The biggest mistake made on this front cover is that the name of the magazine is in the bottom half of the page which does not make it stand out or noticeable.
To begin with I thought that this was sub- heading because of the font size and the positioning of the text but I later realized that it was the actual heading and 'KEHS' was not the title.
This was mostly because KEHS was at the top of the page of the font was bigger making it more noticeable.
Also it is very hard to identify whether the heading is apart of the image of the bird.
I also think that the image of the bird ruins the collage that has been placed in the background, this is mostly because too much has been put on one page which makes it look amateur.

I have notice that this magazine does not have a lot of headlines or other stories to get the reader interested in what to forward to when reading this magazine.
for example other magazines will include headlines to wow the reader but this magazine does not include any which is disappointing.
This is the contents page.
After analyzing the front cover of the magazine I started to analyze the contents that was created as well because I will be creating a contents page for my own magazine.
My first thoughts of this contents page is that it looks sophisticated because of the layout that has been used and the image of the bird stands out in front of the bright white background.
The font size of Welcome has been increased to make it eye catching and intrigues the reader.
Underneath the image is a couple paragraphs that speaks about what happened in the year.
on the right side of the page their is the contents of what is included in the magazine.
