Analysis Of A Good School Magazine

After analysing ‘The BBS Times’, I didn't think I showed you a very good example. Because of this I thought I would analyse Greenfields School Magazine.

This is a great example of a school magazine! Look at it! Colourful, interesting and all age approved.

First off the masthead is different to your general magazine. Although it goes across the top of the page, it goes on two levels. This is a nice layout as it isn't as square as other magazines.  It isn't central either as it has the logo on the left. Again I like this layout as its fresh and new.

The pictures are great too. The main picture is very welcoming. This is good at it draws readers in. the other pictures also give a little glimpse into the magazine. This is great as it makes the readers interested before they have even turned a page.

The banner at the bottom is also a nice touch. It breaks up the page making it not look too solid. They have also given the banner the school colours making it more professional and represents the school even more.

Last but not least, they have used minimal secondary leads. This doesn't make it look to cluttered. The way they have used the same font and colour as the masthead makes it look nicer and not too all-over-the-place.

The person who made this magazine should be very proud of themselves and if my magazine looks as good as this one, I will be very happy indeed.
