one i like.

This is one of the best school magazines I found! I think the conventions of a school magazine should be quite simple and formal in comparison to tabloid magazines such as 'More'. though it should also follow some of the more generic magazine conventions. 

The consistent color scheme of the cover gives it a professional feel and the simple picture thats been 

graphically edited isn't to busy to distract from the information.

The title is bold and stands out drawing to readers attention directly to it, this is what a magazine should do as you need to know the name of it. 

The pink colored writing at the bottom right is in my opinion what lets the cover down. It reads in 

continuous prose which isn't how i believe it should be read. Slightly letting the cover down. 

The main headline is central to the cover and the odd shapes and bright colors attract the readers attention straight way.

The small burst in the corner will appeal to some readers as it is a well known television character and people like when they see things they know, hence why famous celebrities are on the covers of commercial magazines. 

The writing used is sans serif which gives the magazine a less formal look but as it should maybe appeal to children, this is a good thing. 

The two faces on the cover appear to be headteachers from the school which means that the pupils and parents will know who they are mimicking a 'celebrity' status. 

The plain white background makes the magazine look clean and allows the reader to see clearly what is on the page.

 The magazine isn't one to be sold which i why, unlike a real magazine, the cover doesn't have a barcode or price. This is because its a school magazine and conventionally these won't be sold in shops.
