The magazines layout is very formal, it uses blocked images in a 'banner' style across the top and bottom. The school colours used are a velvety royal green and a yellow gold, these colours give the effect of formality, elegance and wealth. The images used show that school thrives on it academia, including pictures of Princess Anne making the schools importance. The logo and school name centered provides the audiences main focus to be on the school its self. The four images that have been blocked in to a banner at the bottom shows what the school provides and focuses on academic areas such as: Drama; Sport and Learning. The name of the magazine provides us with the idea that the school is 'Independent' as Melrose is a rather formal name for a school magazine. Overall the magazine reflects the appearance and reputation of the school.
