School Magazine (The Oblivion)

Task 2- Front Page (For "The Oblivion")

Task 2- Contents Page (For "The Oblivion")






















Information
For Task 2 the school Magazine, we had to create our own magazine for the school while using
images that I took myself using my camera. The images used on the Front Cover are images that I have taken myself making them original, this was also part of the exam board criteria. We were not allowed to get any images from the internet with a couple of exceptions, I got the Armthorpe Accademy Logo of the internet which was allowed. The name I gave to my Magazine was "The Oblivion" simply because I thought it was a very good and effective name that would engage the readers and has no problem with copywright, as I have thought of the name myself which makes it original. I tried to keep the house style as simple as possible becauase if it was to complicated then it would'nt look as good, it could confuse most of the people that read it and even myself when I look back over what I have done.

Front Cover
 I have placed the main heading at the top in the middle of the page so it is the first thing that people will see when they read it, at either side I have put some selling points to in an attempt to make it look more like a real magazine. I have even came up with my own catchy slogan which is "Bringing You the News", this is an original slogan as I thought of it myself also I beleive it's a very good and effective slogan which people will like. I put the Slogan there mainly for effect as it made it look a lot more like a real Magazine At the very top I have included the Date, the name of the school and what issue, these were added as decoration just to fill up exxcess space and see how I can improve it. Colours remain the same for both of the pages as I am keeping to a colour scheme of mainly blacks and whatever coloys the images are. The text is black as it is the best colour for standing out especially on a white background making it easy to read. For effect I have added some selling points advertising school ties on for sale and new chicken tikka wraps are also on sale.

Contents Page
The style for the Contents page is very much the same as the front cover which is what I was trying to do, as part of the house style. I have only used one original image for the contents page as I have got 3 original imgaes on the Front Cover so I decided to use one. I also had to get images related to the story which would be hard if I was taking the pictures myself so to save time and make sure that the imgaes are very good quality I gathered the images of the internet which was a better solution. On this page I have a total of 4 headlines for 4 diferent stories. These were New School Dining Menu, Armthorpe Wages War with Bullies, New school Production Comming Soon and the last one which is the main story was New construction in operation. Under the main story I have added a brief description about what's going on is and a little about why this is happening. The 1 original image
sits on the top right of the page where I thought it looked best and would'nt get in the way with the house style, I have then placed the rest of the contents around the page where it looked the best.
