For my header bar and footer header line, once again, I chose black and yellow as a colour scheme because of the bars placing on the cover, at either end, I felt these block colours would act as bookends to the cover, helping to magnify the details on the print. These particular shades of yellow and black match the school uniform which helps make the magazine more familiar and personal to the school, which could attract more people to buy the publication from school, building a bigger "fan base" as it were.
 
 
The article regarding a teacher turning 70 was inspired by an article I'd seen in Q Magazine a number of years previously concerning former Beatles singer & songwriter John  Lennon. This too was in header bar format, and being placed at the top of the page suggested the man it concerned was of God like status, which, in a very tongue-in-cheek like manner, is how the teacher is regarded in our school, due to his lesson "antics". In comparison to that, I chose to advertise a freebee given away with this edition of the publication as a juxtaposition to the header bar, showing a range of things found on such spaces of a magazine cover. The word "FREE" in bold also attracts viewers to the cover.
