My Contents Page Images

These are the images that I think I will use on my contents page.

I feel this picture is appropriate because it shows he girls looking through their work and holding folders, which signifies school. The school can also be seen in the background.

I will use this picture for my contents page, as i like the lighting because it gives the image a positive feel. The girls are also smiling, which helps to create a positive atmosphere.

I feel this picture is suitable for my contents page because my models look like they are having fun, which represents the school in a positive view. 

This picture signifies a school because my model is holding folders and looking at work. The school building is also visible in the background of the image.

My Front Cover Image

Out of all of the pictures that I took, this is the original image of the one I will use on my front cover before editing it.

This is the image after I have edited it.

I have cropped this image as I felt that there was too much space on the left hand side of the picture. By doing this it makes Isabel the focal point in the picture, which draws the audience's attention to her as she is now central. Even though I have cropped the picture I have still left enough room at the top of the image for a masthead and down the sides so that i can fit in featured articles. I have also boosted the colour as this makes the image brighter and it brings out the individual colours within the picture. I like this picture because Isabel is forming a relationship with the reader as she is making direct eye contact with them, which engages the audience. She is also holding some school books and a bag which helps to signify school. Also by having part of the school in the background it gives an insight into what the Magazine is about. Isabel is smiling in this image, which signifies that she is happy, this gives a positive representation of the sixth form to the reader.

My Masthead Ideas

I have decided to call my magazine 'High Class'. I chose this name because the word 'High' is taken from the school's name Southend High for Girls. This means that my sixth form magazine is related to our school in particular. Also the word 'Class' could signify a classroom in the sixth form. Therefore I chose this name because it could connote a high standard.

These mastheads have a range of fonts and styles. The first text is formal and sophisticated. It represents  a magazine of a high standard as it stands out, is bold and looks professional. The second text is old school, which could make this appropriate as it is for a sixth form magazine. However, it is not as striking as the first text. The third font looks informal and cartoon like. If I use this it will give my magazine a cheaper look. The last font looks formal but not as modern as the first font because it looks older but still sophisticated and professional.
