Comparing my magazine to another school magazine


In this post I will be comparing my own interpretation of a school magazine to another school magazine however this magazine is actually on sale to the public.
The similarities of the magazines are:
- I have used sell lines on the front of my magazine to either promote the positive aspects of my school or what may feature in the magazine.
-I have also put the slogan for our school as a header and footer on the page spread to reiterate the school theme and I have thought that the banner would be the first thing that the buyer would see so they would instantly recognise the school slogan.
- I have also used a mid shot on my front page as well as the other magazine however mine is of a student where as the other magazine has an image of the school's yearbook.

The differences between the magazines are:

- I have used a darker colour scheme because I planned to use the school colours even though they are quite dark where as the other magazine hasn't used their 'school colours' therefore the colour scheme is quite bright.
- The mid-shot on the other magazine is of the school year book but mine is of a student.
- There are more special effects on the other magazine because they might have had access to a wider range of programmes.
- The price is displayed as well as a competition being advertised.

I would adapt the big, bold title line from the other magazine to use in my magazine as well as using the technology that was used here to create all the fonts on the page.
