Evolve - George Stephenson High School

Whilst researching a student magazine I found Evolve. Evolve is a student run magazine for George Stephenson High School. In the latest issue which I have linked, there are loads of different sections, school events, entertainment and sports.

I feel the audience of the magazine is for all age groups within the school. There are picuturesrelating to Sixth form students and also young year groups such as year 7. Also there are different colours that attract attention and give it an informal appearance. This appearance is carried forward with the different fonts and images.

The first few pages after the contents page are about the school. The current art work being produced by students and the next page is a report on "Just the two of us". This is a singing competition held by the school which 16 duets are competting against each other and the verdict decided by a panel of 3 judges. The language throughout this article is very informal and there are jokey coments that are deliberately inserted for entertainment.

As you can see from the images all the pictures are brightly coloured and attract alot of potential readers as they are extremely eye catching. Layout on the pages appears very messy but at another looked it is quite well organised. They have used an obvious house style which is clear from page to page, the black bar along the top.

The content of the magazine has shown me how effective a house style is for a magazine such as this. Also the brightly colours pictures and bold headings, all these items key for their target audience
