Research for Preliminary TAsk

This piece of work was taken off another student’s blog. This issue of the magazine clearly about results day. It has a lot of pictures, which is a strong point cause it catches your eye. However, all of the text and extra information is all over the place. Another negative is that it has white gaps. It would have been better if it were fully filled up to all edges.


















This piece of work was also a past students work. I think it is a lot of stronger than the previous in several areas. It has a central mid-shot which is good quality making it a good point of focus. It has 3 lower pictures below which fills in that extra space well. However the text and use of stand out colors don’t reflect the schools main colors. The school uses blues and yellows where as the designer uses greys and reds.

This is an extract from Arnold house school magazine. I like the way they decided to use the layout to show the event. The variety of jagged pictures shows makes the page very dynamic and nice to look at.

This is an extract from an April issue of Independent School Magazine. I can see that they have gone for a basic color scheme using purple and white.  I like this change in title boldness, it gives the articles their distinction and shadows how dramatic each article will be. The pictures range from wide shots to body shots making the page more dynamic and better to look at.

This is an extract from the 2010 issue of the Ruthin School Magazine.  The picture is dynamic and a good point of focus for the article. However the rest of the page is quite dull and simplistic. I can tell that they were trying to pack a lot of information as this is an early issue but they could use a change in font style or color of the text in some places.
