School Magazine Analysis

school magazine url: http://www.gshs.org.uk/school-newsletters/evolve

This magazine is made for the school George Stephenson High School.

The magazine has a very simple and basic layout to it. The title is 'The Rocket'. It is bold white text on a blue background. This isn't a very imaginative title but it at least shows you what the school is and you know that it is going to be based on only stories that are related to the school.

It is has a fairly simple layout to it, with all the navigational items at the top so it is easy for you to find what you want to look at, although this is also very simple and bland. The more detailed navigational bar down the left hand side is more confusing as it has different icons for certain things and it doesnt really show you what theyre about. This one is also bland and confusing.

The actual magazine itself has a simple layout of columns like that of a newspaper. Like a newspaper it also uses white on black which makes it easy to read and it stands out better than it would with any other colours.

Its purpose seems to be mainly to act as a newsletter for updating parents rather than information for the students. Although it does seem to basically just seem to be an outline of what is currently happening and what has happened within in the school so I guess readership would be both parents and students.
