Research: School Magazine Logos

Some magazines improve their logos by using different colour schemes, different fonts and so on. This could sometimes be based on the various market segments they target.

Teach, for example, produces various content magazines based on its targeted market segments.

For its education-based neutral content, targeted at a wider, less-segmented audience, it uses a simple, broadly written, sans-serif font.

For its audience segmented as primary and secondary educators, it uses a much informal, bright logo to target its respective audience.

Marketing Kit

For the marketing of my magazine I have created a marketing kit.

Planning: Codes and Conventions

Application of codes and conventions on the genre. The above magazine follows the conventions of a teen beauty magazine. The model used for the main image is a young girl in a casual dress-up. The subtle make-up and bubbly expressions denote the innocence and youthfulness that teen girls have. The codes and conventions followed in the above magazine are bold, over the top styling, heavy make-up and extravagant props. The models in this genre usually take up looks that no woman would generally wear, so it's not necessarily a representation of women rather a creative portrayal of beauty as art.

Double Spread: Construction - Editing and Designing

I started by constructing the layout for my spreadsheet first following the sketch that I had made after I had improved the brightness and lighting on the image. I then added the heading using the font 'Bahnscrift' in bold. In order to add the article I had written within the shape, I used this technique of using the pen tool to first outline the shape and then add the text within the shape before hiding the layer with the highlighted shape. Finally, I added some text on the top-right corner as well, using the font 'Freestyle script'.
