Preliminary Task

Jacqueline Frimpong

The School Magazine:

Harris Academy Crystal

Palace

MOOD BOARD

TEXT FONT AND SIZESPossible

Front styles

for

headline/title

Range of

different font

styles for text

I would need to consider

text that would be clear

and easy to read. Also I

would need to think about

text that would represent

the age of people the

magazine is aimed for.

COLOUR SCHEMESThese colours

are very bright

and vibrant which

can be used to

represent the

lower years

The more subtle/

calmer colours

could be more for

the senior school

students such as

the post 16

This green colour

pallet would be

good as the

traditional colours

of Harris crystal

palace is mainly

green with yellow

and black.

The Things I would need to include….

A logo

Background picture

Relevant magazine name

Relevant titles

Students

Catchy news.

Possible Magazine names

The Harris Times- This is an issue that can be released every school term. I

have included the name Harris as it is the name of the school the magazine is for. This gives a clear

indication that the magazine is about or for the students of that school. ‘The Times’ is a very well known

newspaper so by including this into the title creates a feel of recognition.

HNM- This stands for ‘Harris News Monthly’ indicating that the magazine would be issued every

month. Once again the name of the academy has been included to show that the magazine is based on the

on goings of Harris.

Harris Weekly-’Harris Weekly’ would be released once every week as suggested in

the name.

The Catch Up!- This has a young and school like- feel to it
