My School Magazine Outline


For my school magazine I might make it Christmas themed as it is coming up to Christmas. 

The Colour Scheme
Because it is a Christmas themed magazine, the colours are going to be blues, whites and silver. This is because those colours are usually associated with Christmas when put together.

Front Cover
On it I would maybe place a student (dressed in woolly clothing, like a scarf and a hat) next to a Christmas tree and holding a present under some holly to fit the theme. This would be my central or main image.

The masthead on the front of the magazine would be something like 'Chislehurst Times'. This is because the school is called Chislehurst School for Girls and it makes sense to link the schools magazine with the schools name.

As a magazine always has to have a date, I would place the date in the top right corner, underneath the masthead. This is so people will see the date when they look at the magazine it will be one of the first things they see. This allows them to know how up to date the information inside will be. 

The cover lines will be telling people what is on the inside without telling them the whole story, this way people will be aware or what they're about to read. It may also interest them and make them want to read the inside!

Although school magazines don't have bar-codes, I will add one in because it makes the magazine seem more professional.
