The background will stay a neutral colour, but depending on the background – if its and architectural image then it may take up the whole page or if the image already has a nice looking background.

Again for the contents page the colour scheme will be a neutral or subtle colour, maybe a light blue as blue is the schools main colour. Or the front cover can be the a blue colour and then contents page may be the pale yellow/magnolia colour as this would represent the school colours very well.

which is in blue that represents the school colours, underneath is the school slogan.

Logo:• The logo is before the

masthead making it instantly recognisable to the audience.

Main Coverline: • The main coverline is situated

across the main image as this is also the anchor and therefore needs to be eye catching – this will have a quote or sub heading underneath.

Banner: • This banner will contain eye

catching images and promoting a certain even, e.g. upcoming football game or arts week.

main articles about events and upcoming news in school.

student or group of students who are in the main article – the main article will be a big event ect.
