Preliminary task(Research)

Within the preliminary task i have to create a school magazine cover and it's contents page, however before starting to create the task I have to undertake some research which gives me a slight idea of what school magazines should look like and what conventions they follow. I have started by researching the school magazine cover called OPHS.

I have looked at this school magazine cover in some depth, the magazine cover includes a common colour theme which is of green and yellow. The magazine cover also includes a  medium shot of two students at the front showing they are the main attraction within the magazine cover.  The name of the magazine is written in big bold letters and placed on the top left of the page which makes it clear and makes it stand out clearly. 

Little captions are then added at the bottom left of the magazine and are of black bold text so they are also easily visible, to people.
