For homework we got set the task to evaluate the work we have done for our front cover and contents page of the school magazine that we have completed.
Weatherwatch outlines an everyday magazine, with stories, competitions and everyday news. It is a magazine especially designed for the students of Weatherhead, basically like a newsletter but in more depth.
The front cover of the magazine is very much like 'New' and 'OK' but with a school twist. It follows codes and conventions in very many ways it has a big bold title that stands out from the rest of the magazine. There is one main image that dominates the page, if someone was to pick up the magazine this would be the first thing the eye would see. The taglines give a brief description of the stories in the magazines. There is a tagline in the bottom left hand corner. The person in the image creates eye contact with the audience, this is called direct address. The body language of the girl fits the genre as the girl is dressed in a school uniform. The issue and date are always situated at the top of the front cover above the main title, or by the barcode.
In some ways the front cover doesnt follow the codes and conventions because the postioning statement is above the main title. The front cover does not have any buzzwords, these are some of the things I will need to work on it to make my work better.
The contents page meets the codes and conventions as it has a screenshot of the main front cover. The font is continuous throughout both pages. The issue number and date is situated at the top of the page. It has a buzzword ''your exclusive magazine'' this makes the reader thing they are getting more for their money. Images have taglines to give a brief description of the story.
