school magazine front cover analysis

 

• The title of the magazine is wyke although this is unclear as the word exam is also on the top of the page and is in larger font. it is unclear on the page what wyke actually means and so i don't think it is a good title. 
• The photo used is of a girl who is at college, it may appeal to the audience as she looks like a stereotypical student who could be doing a number of things. at first glance she looks stressed possibly over exams and at a second there is something in her hand which is not visible, she could be working and the object may be a pen. or the object could be a phone and she could be texting. 
• The feature stories are 'is too much stress been put on students?',  'Rose gardens or NO gardens, should they be there or are they just encouraging smoking?' and 'NEW buildings, worth it, or just an unneeded expansion'.
• The colour scheme seems to be Green and White with some black and red. The red seems to clash with the green and the background and the black and white does also not work well with the background.   
• the typical things you see on a front cover, is one to 2 photos, the main one usually being of a person. A title, subtitles, a barcode, and the year the magazine is released in. 
• The font style they have used is bold and rounded.  

• The title of the magazine is school weekly, not very inventive...
• The photo used is of a girl carrying school books and a bag looking like she is on her way to school.
• the feature stories are 'Every year 11 pupil GCSE grades published', 'Exclusive pictures of year 11 prom' which includes 3 photos of the prom on the front cover and 'Stressing about exams' 
• there is no real colour scheme. The background colour is off white, the title is in red one of the feature stories is in blue and the other 2 are also in red, all other writing including the title is in blue. This does not work in the magazines favour as nothing on the cover really stands out.
•  the font style they have used is plain, which works on the magazine as it is easier to read. 

• The title of the magazine is 'Monkey' and the slogan is 'GO BANANA'S' this is random and eye catching which means you are more likely to have a look at it and buy it. 
• The main photo used is of a girl holding a banana giving a weird face, which makes it look childish but at the same time funny.
• The feature story is 'Are you being bullied?' with a photo of someone who looks lonely and as if he is being bullied. there is no other feature story but instead a paragraph that explains the magazine, 'read inside to get a taste of you weekly gossip, don't stay behind, get with it... get a glimpse of the coming student parties' 
• The colour scheme is yellow and black, although the background behind the girl is of a brick wall which does not work in the covers favour. the tile is yellow the banana is yellow and her cardigan is yellow. 
• The font style they have used is large rounded and in capitals, it works on the magazine as it really stands out.
