Deconstruction of The School Magazine Part Two

I can automatically see that this is a school magazine. From the text I can assume that the picture fits in and as they “say goodbye to year 11’s” it suggests that the picture is a year 11 student too. Even though this magazine has been focused on year 11 students, the school logo is a frog which is childish and targeted at kids aged 12 & 13. The colours used and the fonts and sizes are very basic and show little skill. The magazine has no eye catching colours. No extra features have been used to make the magazine more interesting. Using the colour white is very bland and simple, this may be the right impression the creator of the magazine wanted something simple and straight to the point as it is a school magazine. The text is over laying the picture which fills the whole page but it is still easy to read and understand.

The picture of the girl also shows this is a school magazine as she is wearing a school uniform. By the way she has been made to pose it could suggest that the school she attends is strict and very certain about different aspects of the school. The quality of the magazine, specifically the picture shows that the school may have invested in good quality software to produce magazines which look formal. The school website address has been included above the logo which could suggest the school is proud of the outcome of the magazine and wants viewers to pursue to look at the school to see more in depth of what they have to offer. Under the main headline, there is a statement which explains what the school specialises in, business and enterprise. The school has chosen to add on this magazine more information about them suggesting they’re proud of what they do and wish to share this with everyone who views the magazine. The colours which have been used are not dull however are not bright. This shows that they want to keep the look formal, as this may reflect on what the school is about. The colours have been chosen well to suit the background picture. The colour white has been used to make it easier to read with a dark coloured background. The colour blue has been used which connotes sadness and one to one communication meaning the school is focused on what they want to achieve by people looking at the magazine.
