Task 9 - Analysing A College Magazine

When i look at this magazine the first things that i notice is that it looks extremely formal as there is lots of text laid out in columns, there is also very little images on the front cover which doesn't make it look very exciting. However, at the bottom of the cover there is a section about a christmas concert which shows there are some extra curricular activities and there is also a column on the side with the sub heading "Head's Message" which shows that the head teacher is involved in the activities of the school.

Other parts of the cover that I notice is that the school crest is at the top of the cover and the Title of the newsletter which also has a winter theme to it as it was published around christmas time. Also the images of the graffiti on the wall shows that school has a relaxed attitude and likes to involve students.

What would i do differently

Firstly, I wouldn't call this a magazine at all, it looks more along the lines of a newsletter. Also i believe the newsletter looks too formal as it has lots of text but i think it could use a couple more images and a little less text.
