Preliminary Task - Front and Contents page drafts.

This is the draft of the front page of my school newspaper:-





I have chosen to use the font Engravers MT for my masthead, as it looks formal and is bold. My masthead will be in a dark teal colour (Red: 36. Green: 96. Blue: 82) on a white background, to make it stand out. The image of the student on the front will be taken by myself in medium close-up. The student will be wearing every-day clothes as the magazine is directly aimed at 6th Form students at a school called 'Pixie High'. At the bottom you will see 3 boxes. The box on the far left will contain an image of a flower, symbolizing the title in the box in the middle saying 'PIXIE HIGH GOES GREEN' in Georgia font. (Red: 80. Green: 12. Blue: 180.) The box on the far right will contain a photograph of another aspect of nature.


This is the draft of the contents page of my school magazine:-




The title will again be in Engravers MT font, in a dark purple colour (Red: 80. Green: 12. Blue: 180.) and the background of the page will be white. The boxes on the page will be filled with photographs fitting to the topics of the pages. All smaller fonts will be in Georgia font and in a dark teal colour, the same as the masthead on the first page (Red: 36. Green: 96. Blue: 82). The school logo (the wand close to the title)- The star will be yellow, the handle will be pink and the sparks will be grey/blue.
