School Magazine Cover Research

Here is an example of random school magazine that I found, this was the initial research. The front shows a picture of a student playing guitar, perhaps this magazine is in behalf of a performing arts school.

               

This magazine cover portrays a teacher in an underprivileged school. This magazine cover, I found sparked my interest in promoting academic achievement amongst ethnically diverse pupils from all walks of life.

I like this magazine because I feel that it portrays a very positive message about their school. The photograph depicts people of all nationalities, backgrounds and ways of life; what really stands out is the fact that they all have objects in their hands showing that they have aspirations and because they are all standing beside one another giving a sense of communion and achievement which thrusts positivity to a society where racial tension and stereotypes of such achieving.

When the image is flipped horizontally the people are directly facing the audience   whereas when the photograph in its original   form it is awkward since the people seem as if they are looking through the audience rather than looking directly at them. Also at the left hand side suddenly every individual in the photograph is important, whereas in the intial cover the boy  at the end is made to seem insignificant.
