The first masthead is designed to fit the theme of school. So the letters are made with school equipment , suck as protractors , brushes and paint pallets.


The second masthead is aiming for the younger children at the school . The text is in the school colors , and is also styled in a more friendly , bubble writing font . there is also the cover line which is the school's logo.


The third masthead is a far simpler masthead . In this case it is the magazine's details inside the Plantsbrook logo . It uses a bold font , in the school colours , and elements of the actual school logo within too .

School magazine masthead analysis

 the first two mastheads are very clear and very bold. this makes them look very professional for a magazine . the colors on them are a contrast of bright and dark which makes them quite eye catching . the 3rd magazine has quite an informal text which makes it look fun and appealing to its target audience . the target audience being school children and their parents . the first masthead seems to be tailored more to college students , as its writing is in a varsity font .

today i used several of the blog tools and experimented with them .

4 shared
4 shared is a great site to store data for free . I used it several years ago on my old blackberry to download music . On the computer it is far better . It allows you to store  up to 10GB of data on the cloud , which is very useful for storing any files (such as pictures and videos) so i don't use all my school computer's memory . and as its stored on the cloud so i  can use the files from anywhere with an internet connection.



Photobucket is a site used to upload and share videos for free . This is useful for storing any image and video files i will need or could ever need in my work . I can use the site to upload them , and then download them from any device i need . This helps because i can get all my pictures and video as home , without the need of a USB. essentially , by using photobucket , I can lave all of my stuff there and collect it when needed from whatever device i need them on .

Google calendar is an app that i use regularly on my phone in substitution of the default apple calendar app . I find it far more user friendly , as you can personalize all of the events i set on there. It's especially useful for setting homework deadlines as i will be alerted to do them or when they're due on my phone . the app also works in sync with my Google account , so i can sync all my contacts on my account/on my phone to set up events and reminders on both the site and the app . overall , a very useful app which is both attractive on the eye and very user friendly .

TubeChop is just so helpful . its perfect for editing clips into just the right part you want ! which is brilliant for adding tiny clips into work etc . it is also good for any presentations you want to add a clip into , such as to make a point , share some information , or deliver a punchline to a very poor joke

Magazine Analysis

•  the masthead on all of these magazines is always at the top of the magazine cover.
• the font is always large so that it catches the attention of the reader , making them look at the rest of the cover. it also makes the brand name more visible.
• the anchorage always has eye catching words again to lure the reader or potential buyer in . words like " EXCLUSIVE" or "WORLD EXCLUSIVE"
• the magazine color scheme often matches the artist to look more complimenting to the artist on the front cover. For example , the Daft Punk cover features a pulp noir colour scheme to suit their electro style of music.
• these magazines also use the names of popular celebrities at the time of publishing to attract readers who crave the latest news on the currently most popular artists . this is often included in a list beginning with " PLUS"  in bold text to be more eye catching

this is also used with who ever is on the front page of the magazine . this will almost always be the most popular artist at the time so potential buyers will easily recognize the person on the cover and buy .

the front page artist will almost always take centre stage on the cover . They will always be the focus of the cover . this is sometimes accompanied by the way they can sometimes block out certain texts on the cover . sometimes even block the magazine's masthead .

the more recent magazines will frequently have quite plain covers . this makes them more appealing to the eye and gives them a far more sleek and stylish feel.
