1. Initial Post

Today was our first coursework lesson, so we created our blogs and began deconstructing various school magazines to collect examples for when we create our own.

The first magazine I looked at was the Autumn/Winter publication for King Edward VI High School.


The front page was a full screen image of three girls, two of which are dressed as M&M sweets, which links with the headline 'A Sweet Exchange'. Also, the image is quite ambiguous, therefore persuading the reader to continue reading to gain an understanding about the intriguing story. As the models are smiling this suggests that the school is a happy environment. 


The font is clear and simple which makes it easy to read and looks professional, and the text does not obstruct the image which makes it less complicated for the reader as it does not look over-crowded or messy. 


The small bar at the foot of the page contains details about what can be found inside the magazine, and this makes up for the absence of a content page.
