Task one ( school )

Today i had to think of ideas on what to call my magazine. It had to be school based and have a catchy name that would capture the readers attention. I made a list of different names and then swapped some parts of the idea names to create better ones. It took me quite a while to figure out what to call my magazine because i didn't have any ideas at first. My first draft names included Weatherhead weekly, High school madness and School rumours. I didn't use one of these names because either other people were using them or they didn't really sound catchy. In the end i decided to call it High school gossip. It shows that it is a school magazine but still has all the interesting information about school that people want to listen to. I had to write about what the magazine would involve inside of it and what the front cover images would be and what it would have on it. I had to describe exactly what the image would be. It had to be a medium close up image. I also had to write down a number of cover lines that would be on the front. I did all this so that when it would come to creating the magazine i had a clear idea of what i was doing. It was really helpful because i didn't struggle as much. I named the main cover line Horror "school" night because it was made from the saying horror night and i added school because it would be a school thing and on a friday night.

For my main image i will be using my friend from Weatherhead in year 11 wearing a halloween hat. Im using a year 11 because they still wear school uniform so it makes it look more like a school magazine. Im gonna put a halloween hat on her to show it was the halloween issue and that the students are getting involved.

Coverlines for the front cover
I chose these by taking a look around school and seeing what would be interesting to write about and if i was able to get photos.
