collage magazine

This is my collage magazine front cover, i made the bottom acter look like he is a teacher rather than a student, and the top character is a student getting rid of the teacher, the magazine main focus is on getting rid of the teachers and taking over the school. The idea of taking over the school will apeal to students because the generalizeation of students dont want to be at school.
This is my collage mag contents page, i used several different images of the sma eperson in ways that would show that the students are taking over the school. all the subheadings in the magazine are ones that would appeal to a student variety, ones that students would like to read about.

The magazine is not in a great amount of detail but this is where my music mag will shine because higher tecniques will be used and more features that will make it a higher quality magazine.

Anchorgae
This is a term that refers to how images are referred to. in magazines, images will be anchored by captions (directly explaining what the picture depict), by coverlines, or ny articles and headlines. Anchoring an image helps give it meaning, as it helps the reader understand the significance.

Secondary images
They may be used on the front cover to help promote other features in the magazine, usally anchored by a coverline.
They are often used in magazines where readers need to be encited by the picture.

Coverlines
These are located at various points on the front cover, telling readers about the magazines contents.

mode of address
magazine links with the maker

Puff
attracts the reader to a certain point of intrest in the mag

Pugs
the ears of the mag

barcode, price, addition
for refference, to know how to buy, to be placed

use of colour
for extra effect, alter from addition to addition.

font
tells alot about the magazine
central image

This is one of the most important parts of the front cover as it catches a readers eye before they look at the tagline or title, this draws the reader to pick up the magazine. normally linked to the main article.

The cover model

celebrity connected to the magazine, might change the magazines selling power
