Preliminary Task - Research - Analysis of Magazine Contents

I anaylised three contents pages from various magazines. I focused on what codes and conventions and aspects of the page lured the audience in.



After looking at the three school magazines I identified the codes and conventions of a school magazine. Analysing the front covers of the magazine has enabled me to identify the common features of a school magazine, which has allowed me to further develop the design of my front cover. Where I will use some of the codes and conventions that I have identified, such as the mast-head being at the top of the page and the key image taking up most of the page.
