The title "Top of the School" is a good name for a magazine aimed at sixth formers. It refers to the fact that sixth formers are the two highest years in the school and so are "top". The colour scheme of the masthead is yellow and black which are appropriate because they are the colours of the uniform. This along with the size and placing make the masthead clearly visible.
The main image of the magazine takes over the entire page and it is part of the main story headline as all the models are involved in the school production. This image consists of five people in a relaxed pyramid formation, three people on the bottom with two above.However there are no subsidiary images on the cover.
There is one main headline on the cover that goes with the main image and there are also four other sell lines. The language of the magazine is informal and entertaining to keep readers interested but it also gives clear and concise information. A range of appropriate fonts and colours have been used to relate to the individual sell lines which make them stand out.
There is a clear structure and grid to the cover which makes it clear and well organised. Also it is bright and colourful which appeals to the reader and there are numerous references to the school.
I would say that my main strengths are the choice of main image and headline, my slogan "A-level Antics" and my sell lines. My targets for improvement would be to have a clear colour scheme, have less cramped sell lines and to have a more professional main image.
