My Final Prospectus Front Cover

over the past few days at school, i have been creating my magazine front cover. I was working with Becky on doing this but i was then told by one of my teachers that we must work alone on making our front cover as then we both would have our own creation of what the magazine should look like. 

This is my magazine front cover:

I called my magazine The Style and had the Misbourne logo above it to show that it was to do with the Misbourne school. The reason i chose a simple name was because even though its not very creative it stands out and is easy to remember. The Misbourne logo was faded so that there wasn't too much attention drawn towards it as i wanted the masthead to stand out more. Underneath the masthead i then put a little slogan so that the readers would get more of an insight as to what it was about, my slogan was "...The style behind the Misbourne gates!" i had this in a different font to the title so that it stood out rather than blended in with the title. on the cover i also added puffs so that the main information can be presented first as its would be one of the first things you would look at. One of the puffs is the banner saying "first ever the style magazine!" this would stand out letting all the readers know that this is the first ever one and it is the start up of a good magazine. The other puff is talking about the new uniform, i put that as a puff because it the talk that everyone seems to be having so it is fairly important to the readers. I then used left thirds so that if the magazine was on a stand they could only see the pictures and text that i have put on the left side of the cover. As this magazine was all about fashion and the clothes in the Misbourne school i decided to put my main image as a boy smiling wearing the new uniform (all but the tie), because the guy is smiling it gives the impression that the boy is happy in the Misbourne and that he likes his new uniform, this photo makes you think as to whether the new uniform has had a good response or not that way it makes you want to read inside the magazine. 

I also did a mock up of my prospectus contents page, by doing this it allowed me to think into what i might actually want my magazine contents page to look like.
