A high angle shot is used here to show a student at work, by using this shot it enhances that she is looking down at her work hard at study. This picture was used to work with the main story “hunting for a Job”.

The aim of this magazine is to get the students to work harder so they are able to get the qualifications they need and to get a job. As this is a heavy message and not very fun for the students, a lot of images are used to make the magazine more attractive so they are kept hooked to the magazine.

The background of this magazine works well as the images are faded to look like one. Also the two people faded into the background are presents to go with the header “on top of the talk” as they look like they are standing over or on top of the building and the two students talking.

The magazine is also made to look more professional as the main title “new humanities building” is slightly covered by the lads head which is what most professional magazines do.

However, on this magazine the sizes of the font make it hard to recognise which is the name of the magazine and the main story, so the reader will have to guess.

The colour scheme is good and in keeping with the school colours. But there is a few random colours thrown in at the bottom text that distract the eye from the rest of the magazine and the main story.

The school badge is shown at the top corner of this page. This is so it can easily be seen but isn’t the centre of attention on the page.

The title is bold and stands out to the rest of the page, telling the readers what is on this page.

In the text the most important stories, e.g. “interview” are suttely highlighted, so they stand out but do not distract from the rest of the text. It is also put if uppercase letters unlike the rest of the text.

The background is kept to on colour that slightly fades, this goes well with the text colour and also matches the school colours. The faded effect on the background makes it look more appealing to the reader.
