Final preliminary task. Front cover and Contents page.

My final school magazine is very simple. I have followed most of the codes and conventions of a school magazine. I have the main anchor image that can be related to education and is a medium close up. Storylines are listed on the right hand side around the image. The strap line is placed underneath the title. I Used a very cheap and simple design. When I had researched about school magazines I had realised that most of them tried to keep it very basic due to printing prices etc. it's the contents inside and the target audience will read it because it concerns them/family. Some schools don't do magazines because they prefer letters or they produce quarterly.

My contents page is very similar to my front page. Although I used the same person I think the blur effect makes it seem very different. I selected the person out of the image and duplicated that layer. I blurred the original and put the cropped image on top so the background is blurry. I chose to blur because the objects in the back would have made it hard for the readers to see the text. I used white because it stands out.
