MAGAZINE COVER.

During the process of making my front cover, I thought a lot about how I could involve key media terminology into the design to portray clearer ideas and similarities to a regular magazine.
I have named the magazine SSFG (Southfield School For Girls) however I have wrote it in 'Princetown LET' font which shows ideas of an typical high school font that can often be associated with American Basketball theme. I have decided to use this font as it gives the cover a bit on an edge and makes it different to what you would normally expect to see. If the title is a bit different and quirky, it may be more likely people are going to be interested in reading the magazine and see what inside information it holds. 
Underneath the title I have decided to include a tag line 'your weekly school gossip mag' that can be paired and associated with the magazine. Along with this I have used direct address in it 'your' which can make the reader feel more included and part of the magazine seeing as it is addressing them directly. 
In the top right corner of the cover there is a burst/splash which can draw the readers attention and can help influence them into buying/reading the magazine. I have chosen to give away a free pen which can be found in the burst to make the readers feel more tempted into reading the magazine. 
The mid shot image I have used is dominating the page which can show that the school is strong and powerful in the aspect of education while it shows precisely what the category of the magazine is.

Throughout the cover of my magazine I have maintained the same 'Arial' sans serif font with it being the same size to show continuity portraying ideas of a structured, professional school. As I have used a sans serif font it displays that the school is consider as fairly modern and more up-to-date with technology and general teaching. 

Also through the front page I have continuously used an informal chatty register in order to target my chosen audience of school children, which then helps them to feel more comfortable and relaxed when reading it.
