Codes and Conventions of a school magazine

Codes and Conventions

Colour Scheme                                                                                   

Most magazines use a 3 way colour scheme. This means that there should only really be 3 colours to the magazine. The 3 colours that are used are pink, yellow and light blue. By sticking to this convention this enables the magazines to look professional and not rough. The picture also contrasts the colour scheme as the pink folder the girl is holding goes with the pink text, this also happens with the double yellow lines on the road with that blending with the yellow text.

Font

There are 2 types of font on show in this school magazine. One type of font is relaxed but also quite fashionable so it isn't bland and boring. This type of font makes the reader attracted to it. The other type of font is used within the title of the magazine. Its really bold and old fashioned to add some diversity to the document. And also the sheer size of it is unmissable so whoever looks at it is instantly drawn to the title.

Main Image

The main image of a school magazine must be relevant to the content that will be inside it. So the main image of this magazine is very relevant as they're students and they attend the school that the magazine is talking about.

Audience

As this is a school magazine it is been shown to young students and potentially parents so the content within the magazine needs to be appropriate and calm stories, nothing that will cause controversy.
