Final Front Cover. ( School Magazine )

This is my final design off my front cover for my school magazine. I have included a masthead. It consists off 3 colours, ( Red, Black& White ) I did this because it is the schools colours, and I have made them my house colours. I have put my masthead on an almost translucent border, so my masthead stands out. Underneath my masthead I have a puff which also is the school motto. The puff is in a simple black, Sans Serif Font. My puff is therefore relevant to my primary audience. My headline is the second largest font on the page, it's also bold for emphasis and it catches the readers attention. My pug will attract the attention of the secondary audience, ( teachers and parents ) because they would want to know the kind of results Plantsbrook has achieved, it also features the school logo. I have featured a banner at the bottom of my page. Its typed in white font, because my cover lines / headlines are written in red, and my puff in black, so I wanted to use white, so it  fits with my house style.The visual syntax I have created is down the left hand side and across.
