This is my final school magazine cover. I have used an attractive female model on the front cover, with a hook story like 'Crystal, 12 A*'s take her right to the top.' I have made the name 'Crystal' stand out so people know it would relate to the main image more.

I have also got other hook story lines which will show the reader what else is involved in my magazine.

I have got the title placed in the centre. This is bold to make it stand out more. I have also included the Heworth Grange logo so it would be well known.

I have got a bar code, date and issue also on the cover of my magazine. I have also included the school website.

I constructed this questionnaire for the public to fill in. This way, it helped me choose what my magazine looked like, the colours used etc. The public would then be involved in what they would like to be on a magazine cover nowadays.

This is my final magazine cover.

I have chose the colour scheme of yellow as it is both a male and female colour.

I have an image of the main model on the right hand side, this image overlays the title (this is a common convention of magazines) - and over the top of the main image i have the hook story line 'Toni. It was very stupid and i know it will NEVER happen again'

It also includes a price and a bar code, which all magazines should consist of.

I have other hook story lines so people would know what else is included in the magazine.

It also says 'FREE DOWNLOADS TO HOT NEW TRACKS!' - I decided to put this on my cover so that people who notice it would go online and download tracks for free.

I also added a little list of other celebrity names who are included, this way people would buy the magazine and i would have a wider audience range - this is also because my magazine is for males and females.

This is my final article page.
Bold bright colours to make the writing stand out from the background.
A good quality image of the model.
Includes title of magazine, title for article and the website.
Has extra boxes to make quotes stand out, a common convention of magazines.
Has an introduction to what the article is about. Also a common convention of magazines.
I have changed the colour scheme to make things stand out better. Also the colour yellow is both a male and female colour, rather than pink which has connotation of being feminine.

This is my final contents page.

I have added other hook story lines to attract the audience.

I have kept the colour scheme basic so that it doesnt look over crowded.

This is my contents page.

I have included the title and website.

I have added other images to get the audience to buy the magazine.

Down the right hand side i have told the audience what else is included in the magazine.

I have also added an editors box, which is a common convention of magazines.

This the the image of the model is used, before and after the edits.
I have changed the colour of her hair.
I have changed the complexion of her skin.
I have added make-up to maker her look more attractive to attract the attention of the audience, this would mostly be top attract a male audience.
I have made the colour of her eyes more bolod therefore they stand out and attract the audience, it looks like she is engaging the audience and dragging them in.
I didnt want to the blue background in so i cut around the image.
