School Magazine Textual Analysis 2


This is another school magazine I have found which I think is not so great. 
There are a few positive aspects to it which I could apply to my school magazine such as ;


-The close up of the sharpener, it is school related which I believe is necessary.

- The School logo is en-cooperated onto the front which clearly displays to the audience where the magazine is from. 

-The color scheme is gender neutral, appealing to both sexes of students.

Aspects of the magazine I do not particularly like are; 

- The font. The two fonts used are too different from each other appearing unprofessional, and I personally find the title unreadable at a first glance. 

-The colour scheme is quite good, as I said it is gender neutral, however there are too many contrasting colours, and they are too bold and clash. 

- The title is not big enough to be eye catching which is key if these magazines want to be taken /purchased. 

- The title is not relatable to the school's name or school in general.

- There is no preview to what is inside, it makes the magazine appear bare and doesn't make a good first impression which people probably won't bother to read if nothing stands out to them. 


Overall this magazine does not follow typical conventions that a magazine should and I therefore will take the pros and cons from this and apply what is good to the creation of my magazine. This magazine has taught me to make the magazine engaging at a first glance.
