preliminary task

 CONTENTS PAGE

Before I begin my music magazine, I produced a preliminary magazine. On my front cover i used the font 'Rosewood' in order to reflect the enjoyable and exciting years the lower school will endure. Additionally it draws attention straight to the title, due to its significantly large font of 71. This gives connotations to the reader of the proud and homely nature of Whitley Bay High School. 
Moreover, the colours all resemble the WBHS logo colours- as shows below. The logo mainly depicts shades of blue along with white, which give undertones of the coastal area WBHS is in- again creating a friendly, homely essence. 

The WBHS logo inspiring the colour scheme.

  

COVER PAGE

The colour used follows the theme of the front cover in order to make the magazine feel whole and continuous- perhaps making the reader read on. It uses the different shades of blue and white again, to reflect the WBHS logo and the overall coastal theme. For my magazine, i would like to follow the traditional jazz theme, for instance regarding the blue and yellow colours, however bring in modern elements in order to attract younger audiences.  
The layout demonstrates hexagonal images in the centre of the page. This brings a contemporary and quirky element to it, which is unusual to see in a magazine. Therefore, this attracts both a wider and younger audience. I may add some quirky, but definitely modern elements to fuse with the traditional jazz genre. To reduce stereotypes of jazz being outdated and create open minds.+
