My analysis of codes and conventions in a school magazine

 

On the contents page there aren’t many images, but it does include a cassette tape with a pink rainbow emerging from in leading in to raindrops possibly signifying that there will be good times and bad, and it is alternative so appeals to the targeted modern teen. Because the cassette tape has no colour it can represent the individuality that grows for each student which is the pink outburst. The pink can give the impression that the magazine is produced by an all-girls school as stereotypically, it is a colour targeted for females.

The colouring of the font varies so that it makes the eye more drawn to the different titles and make them clear of the different segments. The recycle logo in the bottom right corner shows that the school cares for the environment and wants members of the community to recognise and to join in. I will use this in my own magazine contents page by using a different colour font for each titles of the articles.
