Newsletter Analysis

Newsletter Analysis

The first newsletter that I am going to analyze is the Deyes High School Newsletter. Firstly we can consider the layout of the deyes high newsletter, straight away we can see that deyes high newsletter is layed out in a very smart and formal way with everything being uniform and neat. This gives the impression that the newsletter is intended to be viewed more by the parents of the students rather than the student themselves and is indeed more formal to read. The colours used within the deyes high school newsletter are non-existent, this makes the newsletter once again look more formal hence giving the impression that it was intended to be read to inform rather than entertain. The deyes high newsletter also uses a picture of the Lydiate building on the front of the newsletter, this ivy covered building gives the image of a very traditional school with a traditional education system. Lastly the use of Comic Sans font on the deyes high newsletter goes away from the formal feeling of the newsletter as it is commonly associated with being a childish font to use.


The second newsletter that I am going to be analysing is the ST Ambrose Barlow School newsletter. Firstly we can consider the layout of the Ambrose Barlow School newsletter, we can immediately see that the latout is a lot less sophisticated when compared to the Deyes High School newsletter straight away telling us that this newsletter may be more suited for the pupils to read more than the parents or adults in school. The colours used within the Ambrose Barlow are done in such a way as to not be over the top but are done to give the newsletter a more striking appearance which will grab the student attention to the magazine.
