My Design for a Magazine Cover analysis.

Dear Tim Pearson (CEO of Newham Education Authority),

In my role as the editor I have produced a magazine called sussed, the process was completed by 24th of March 2008 and the magazine was made for year 9 student. I am writing to inform you of the design choices I have made and their appeal to year 9 students. By wisely agreeing to my design choices you will benefit all of the year 9 students and you would receive wide readership.

                                     After analysing the previous magazine, I have identified various colours which appeal to year 9 students. The black background reflects the purpose of the magazine: an important course magazine which informs the audience of their educational options in year9. The colour black is more suitable than a bright primary colour which carries childish connotations. An alternative colours we could have opted for was yellow; however we decided against this option due to (the bright primary colour which cause childish connotations). The black connotate the serious and persuasive colour which will appeal the year 9 students. The black, navy, dark blue, purple and red overlay colour capture the magazine as outstanding,  clear and eye-catching which appeal to year 9 students. An alternative colour we could have opted for was light blue, orange, white and green, however we decided against this option due to the bright connotations and it is not that eye-catching for the students. The white text colour makes the magazine unique and students and this supports the purpose of the magazine. An alternative colour I could have opted for was red, however I decided against this option due to the disciplinary nature of the colour.

                                         The title I have chosen is Sussed which would suit the nature of the magazine and would make the magazine look stylish.  An alternative title we could have selected was sensations; however we decided against this option as it is less tasteful and has no attraction and it would make the magazine less serious for the year 9 students. The sub-heading font is smaller than the title because it is like a second title but it has a short description ...
