For my homework i looked at "the rocket" a school magazine for the George Stephenson high school. The content of this magazine was very school based, it was informative of everything that had happened in the school, with images and articles on topics such as school trips, decoration work to the school etc. It also features a "poets corner" where students could have a poem they had written published in the magazine. It is 16 pages long and very school based, suitable for both the students and the parents. The layout is very simple and easy on the eye. Although the images are in colour the magazine/newsletter isn't very colourful in terms of text and headings. It has the usually front page layout you would expect with a masthead, a main story with bold headline, an image etc.
Do you agree with the choices they made in terms of colour, content, layout etc? What was/ wasn't effective? Any ideas that you will try and use in your own work?
