Rough layouts.

I did a little bit of research here. I looked up a few school magazines and looked at the layout of each one. I picked out a few ideas I liked from each one to produce my own rough layout.

I really like the background on this magazine as it looks like paper. This works well as it is a school magazine and I hope to use something similar to this on my preliminary.

I like this cover as it is busy and includes enough information to attract people to it. Although there is not a pupil on the front of the magazine, I feel it still works as people will be more inclined to buy it if a hero of theirs is on the front.

I really like this cover as it has a catchy title and a witty subheading. The colours work well as they fall into the image of the main photo. I particularly like the banner at the bottom of the page as it allows the readers to see what is inside.

Here is the rough layout I drew. It is just a basic layout and there wont be any font of colour ideas yet.
