School Magazine Cover Analysis


This is a basic educational magazine I have found. The key sections of its layout have been labelled (the puff, masthead, plugs and cover lines) so as to show its simplicity and identify where they can be found on the page.  The magazine itself is extremely simple and displays very little information on the cover, this is presumably because it a very small paper and very can only contain a limited amount of content. Adding to this, its target audience will be young children and their parents/guardians whom shall be unlikely to want to read an overly complex and large magazine. The photograph shown shows a group of students playing some sort of ball based game and represents the fact that the school is most likely a sporting specialist one, as indicated in by the main cover line ‘sports overview a successful year…’. The photograph seems to be of a high quality but contains either a minute amount of editing or none at all. However this is fitting for the genre as one would not expect such a thing for a magazine aimed solely at students and their guardians.
