Conventions for a school/college magazine

o        Clear layout: to make the article look sophisticated and presentable.
o        Good quality picture/photos: not blurred or pixelated.
o        Inviting: the front cover has to look ‘welcoming’ to the reader to encourage them to read on.
o        Informative: has to include certain information such as term dates and upcoming events.
o        A recognisable and unique magazine name.
o        Continuous colour scheme: possibly matching the colours of the school uniform, unify.
o        Readable: all text on the cover has to be easily noticeable and of a reasonable size.
o        Suitability of text for age groups: relevant topics suiting all ages.
o        Continuous theme.
o        All content should be relevant to the main topic of the school/college.
o        No blank spaces, as much information displayed as possible.
o        Some humour to break up the information.
o        Appeal to target audience.
o        Fresh news/ information: keeps the readers engaged.
