First Draft of School Magazine

I initially chose a design that incorporated the school's colours, blue and yellow. The name, "versatility", was a symbol of how diverse and accessible the school is to all, showing that everyone is included. The colours chosen were fairly neutral (i.e. not particularly masculine or feminine). I chose to use these images as they show students hard at work and show off the schools facilities. The banner across the bottom would give room for a strapline or important news.

After reflecting upon the design of the cover, I decided that the colours of yellow and orange clashed too much. Additionally, the masthead isn't large enough and isn't noticed against the comparatively large images and banner across the bottom. The logo also looks visibly stretched and distorted.
The use 2 images where students are wearing hats make the school look fashionable, but also give the impression that the school is cold, not an impression we want to give.
