Textual Analysis for an existing school magazine

 

Child in centre of the screen – she is going to feature in the magazine, and it builds association immediately  

Background is ou
t of focus, so we do not pay much attention to it, its not important to us

Eye contact being made with the camera – yet again builds an immediate association with the main focus of the magazine

Can make out a book at the bottom of the screen – can tell it’s something education related

Abstract font used in masthead, looks handwritten as if it is schoolwork. Almost has a relaxed feel to it

More organised font used in article headings, lots of straight lines used. Looks very ordered and formal to show it is an actual magazine

Barcode visible in the bottom left – shows an easy way to get a hold of the magazine

 

Large font size used in the masthead

so we can clearly tell the subject of the magazine

Students can be seen smiling so we can see that they are happy to be at the school

Different font colours used for the articles so they can stand out more and our attention is dragged to them

Trees used as a backdrop for the masthead – could show that the school supports the environment

No students looking at the camera, all talking to each other – brings a relaxed, regular feel to the magazine
