Pictures I have taken round school for my magazine cover and content page.

I have chosen to do the key parts of my school, for example 'The Hub', the atrium, the music corridor, the hall, and also only one classroom. I only used one classroom as they are all pretty much the same layout and look, they all look the same. I included picture of people art, because I want to include competition winners of an art competition to emphasize the competition at school and so that there is a little sneak peak of who is winning what. I have taken the pictures in these specific angles because I really wanted to make the rooms look as big as possible and in a sort of unusual way to make the pictures stand out and not be as boring. I also took a picture of the a board we have up which includes the London Olympics 2012. This is because it has been the talk worldwide for the whole year and I knew it is a huge interest at the moment. Also as we have some one who used to go to Bishop Ramsey School actually taking part in the paralympics, I thought it would be a great opportunity to use this as my main article because it is such a huge interest at the moment not only in the UK but world wide, which really reflects how much of an interest it is.

A college of picture I would like to use in my School magazine


This is my school magazine collage, I have gathered all these pictures together to get ideas on what I would like on my front over and content page and also I can then get the idea for what I want to take pictures of. I can then look at these school pictures and then take my own at my own angles. Also it gave me idea what part of the school I wanted to focuse on. I really want to include the school's table of house points because everyone is really interested in the house points and constantly wants to be updated on. I like the idea of having the logo of the school page.
