This is my first draft of my school magazine's contents page.
I have used to same colour scheme as my front cover to make it look official and so its obvious it is the same magazine.

I have put in page numbers on the left of my contents page with the articles they will have under the page numbers and I have put boxes where it will have pictures running down the right hand side of the contents page.
I have decided to not have alot of pages in my magazine because it is only a school magazine and it is not widely based so it would only be purchased at the school or local stores by students etc... however this is picture shows my unfinished design so I will add two more pages going from 13 to 14 for the contest to win an ipad.
Also I have created boxes and input names of things that I will have inside my boxes, this is just a temporary thing so I know what I want to put where for next time I work on my project. I plan on adding another picture spot.

School magazine front cover 
This is now the final design of my magazine front cover, I have now created my main headline and I have now added plugs to the left under the main headline of the magazine. Also I have now added a speech bubble next to the students face saying “Read inside to see what I say” this is a technique I am using to make the viewers of the magazine more interested by the magazine and this will make them want to buy it to see what's inside more.
The next task I do will be starting the contents page of my school magazine, this is the second page of a magazine and tells the you what is inside the magazine on what page.

This is the countiuation of my school magazine and I have added more detail to it and also an image.

I have taken and added a picture of sixth former Scott Wharton from my media class, posing as a student in sixth form, this makes the magazine look more professional.

 I have added a star shape at to the top right and am using this shape for the price of the magazine, the colour scheme is the same as the magazine itself, this shows that the price is somthing that is always on the magazine and therfore will look the same as he magazine.

I have added some plugs to the sides of the magazine but where my headline will go and my sub heading I have just put them words down as a guide for when i put in the real ones. Also I have added information on the strapline.

This is the first draft of my sixth formers' school magazine.
In this draft I have created the colour scheme of my magazine and I have also designed the layout for where I will have my masthead and the price etc... i plan on adding plugs down the side of the magazine and I will put information into the straplines.

I will also be creating a contest in my magazine and advertising a chance for someone to win an iPad, this technique is promoted becuase it makes the magazine eye-catching and this is quite professtional as with real magazines.
