Deyes high school newsletter analysis



This is the front cover for the Deyes High newsletter. During the analysis of this front cover I discovered that it has a poor layout and is boring in its design. The reasons for this are:
  • It has no colour
  • There is no eye catching images
  • The logo is faded
  • The layout has no shape
  • There is no masthead, instead a picture of the school
  • It is exactly the same every month as it is of a house style
  • The schools badge is the main front for the cover rather than having a headline or an attention grabbing picture
The reason why the newsletter is boring and plain is because it is more of a information booklet rather than a magazine and it is just designed to get the message across to students and more importantly parents or guardians.

I have created a music questionnaire in order to gain a greater knowledge of my audience. To take part in my questionnaire please click here:-
