Before I begin my evaulation I would like to include I borrowed some pictures off my media friends due to my pictures not uploading onto the computer.
I decided on a plain red background with a header in which I made black, the reason I decided upon a plain background was because i didn't want to over crowd the page with loads of pictures. I used the colour red and black because it represented the st marks colours. To fill up some space on my bacground i selected two main images them being one of a person on the drums and the other of a ticket for a school performance; the reason i selected these images was because I thought they linked with the whole idea of my main front cover stories being themed around school performances and music. I also included a section of an image this being of bright blue lockers, I used it as a kind of border as I believed it made the front cover stand out a bit and it also shows the school has purchased new lockers. I cut out a picture of a dancer from a photo also as it linked with the whole performance story. On the front cover I varied the font style so that it wasn't all the same and because I wanted to make the text all one colour I wanted the reader to distinguish that not all the text was about the same story. Even though I used white as my text colour I still made it clear what my title was by making it the biggest text on the page and putting it specifically in the middle of the page at the top. To sum up whats included I added the st marks logo to represent the school and so it would indicate to people that it is a catholic school.
The text on my front cover are by-lines meaning they give the audience a glimpse of what will be inside the magazine, I didn't include too many of them as I didn't want to over crowd the page however I don't think I clarifyed enough on the front cover that the magazine wasn't all about just performance.
For my contents page I carried on the theme of my front cover by using the same colour background and then for a border I used the black again however I changed it so the writing and border was on the side of the page this was so I could give the text some space and layout the text in an approachable manor. I didn't include the name of the magazine or the logo as I felt it was only needed once on the cover, to give the page a bit of character I added pictures of which I thought could link with the stories.
Overall I found this project took me a fair time to achieve I therefore think next time I need to plan my time out wisely, Another thing I have learnt from this is I should approach the task with a better knowledge of whats expected of a school magazine for example I could go and ask people what they'd expect from a magazine.
