School Newsletter Task

 Front Cover

On the front page of our school newsletter, they use a lot of things associated with the school. For example they have used:

  • Pictures 
  • Logo
  • Colours
Also on this they do not include any information due to the fact that it would be spoken about inside the newsletter.

Double Page Spread

The double page spread is the place where they can share information or inform the reader on upcoming events and things of that sort. They use a formal language style because the person who wrote this it not of a close relationship with the reader, therefore informal language would be inappropriate. Also they have used similar colours to the colours that represent the school, this is also shown on the front cover with the use of the colours Blue, Red and White. In the case of the double page, they only use White and Blue, but still sticking to the general house style of the school. 
Here I have done a mock up of a NME front cover. The image below the real front cover shows the rough style in which NME have used when creating their front cover. This style is used a lot in music magazines. The features in this which I have seen a lot of would be the overlapping image which goes over the title just a little bit, and also the name of the band being a main part of the front cover. This is because the magazine is a special edition featuring a currently successful band so therefore putting their name on it would hopefully attract an audience, in this case, the people who are fans of 'Them Crooked Vultures'. 
 When making my magazine front cover, it is likely that I will use some of these features because they are used so much by a range of different magazines, the techniques they use obviously work and is what makes the magazine look so professional.
