Firstly we started by researching appropriate school magazines to find out who the target audience would be, how they manage to appeal to their audience, what type of stories they cover, typical names, the layout and colour used and whatever areas seem applicable to our glossaries.
This was all to help us begin our task of creating a school magazine and contents page.
Firstly we started by analysing school magazines we found on the Internet;
There audience is a secondary school age 11-16
They appeal to the audience by using bold text that is easy to read and eye catching. There are a lot of bright colours and pictures that make it attractive. They cover stories such as; charity, head boy/girl and exclusive interviews with students and teachers.
Typical names include; school, college. For example the ones I have chosen are; 'which school magazine' 'back to school' and 'the school magazine'
They all follow colours that match reletivly well with the images and have a layout that fit nicely around the image.
