I think that the house colours contributed in the magazine are consistent throughout the pages. They are blue, yellow, black and white – the same colours contributed in the Haydon school logo. The colour scheme is simple and does not clash with each other. The objective of the magazine was for it to appeal to everyone’s taste as the school magazine would reach out to all years from a range of social classes.
That is why the masthead is black, simple and bold – it has to be easily readable for the target audience. The font is Arial and in a regular size and the title fonts are of a bigger size, it is easily readable for the readers.
The images provided are reinforced with their titles to make it clear to what they are. The images clearly represent the different cover lines on the front cover and the contents page. For example, the cover line ‘Haydon in the rubble’ is aligned by the image of literally, Haydon in the rubble with tractors surrounding the area of the ruined site. The picture and the cover line are made as interesting as possible for it to capture the reader’s attention in a basic format for the reader to clearly identify the different aspects of what the magazine has to offer.
The layout is basic, you can clearly recognize where everything is. The titles are associated with the images, the main image on the front cover is not overshadowed by sell lines and images – it is visible. The layout is straightforward.
However, I would say that the qualities of the images are not up to high standard due to the fact that I used my phone to snap the pictures for the magazine. If I had used a professional camera, the images would be of high quality. Also, I should have used editing softwares such as Adobe Photoshop for the images to look better.
