Secondary College Magazine

Secondary magazine is a magazine aimed at secondary year teachers. It gives information on how they could improve their teaching skills in lessons. The magazine is aimed at any school which is shown as the school uniforms don't contain logos.

In this particular copy the front cover is a two page spread meaning that the front and back cover make up one cover. Each side includes the name of the magazine and the inside features.

The question asked is 'Do boys and girls learn differently?'. The magazine shows this is the topic that is going to be raised and emphasises it by using a girl and a boy on the cover.

On the left hand side of the cover the young girl is looking at the boy. She is writing in a notebook slightly covering it from the boys view showing that she prefers to work independently. On the other hand the boy is raising his hand and looking straight ahead at the reader showing that he learns better with the teachers. This emphasises the question about how boys and girls learn.

The boy is also raising his hand slightly covering the 'c' in secondary however his arm is arched over almost as if to represent the 'c'. It can be seen that the boy has ethnicity in him and is reflecting the world as a multicultural place. The colour blue is used for the boy and pink is used for the girl as these colour are used for their folders and the writing for the question on either side. These are usually used to portray the two genders.

By placing these colours on a white background it catches the reader eye and also by placing one main topic on the cover it leaves ideas for what could be inside.
