5. In my magazine I used a layout
that you would usually see in a
magazine and used puns and big
bold and I have used the left to
right layout that is used in the
majority of magazines to attract
the reader. I have used a medium
close up shot on the front
cover.
I have developed previous
magazines by using the idea of
school information but also
having articles about what they
want to know like celebrities and

6. My magazine represents
particular social groups as the
colours are unisex so for boys
and girl and they show that the
magazine is for children but not
of an extremely young age. Also
the colours are based round the
school badge so that it is aimed
at that specific school. By
providing articles about music
and celebrities shows that my
magazine is aimed at younger
people as these topics appeal to
the audience and they are most
likely to read.

7. The type of media institutions that
might distribute my magazine are
schools that are interested in
selling or giving their students an
option to buy or read a magazine on
a regular basis to inform them what
is going on and to get involved in
school life more and to make a
positive contribution to school by
knowing what is going on and giving
advice to their students.
Music companies may want to be
involved in my magazine to as I have
a section for latest music and
concerts so I would look at music

8. The audience for my magazine
would be school pupils aged 11-16
that attend full time education
that want to know more about
what is going in school and also
out of school too. And that are
interested in music and the
celebrity gossip and how they can
control the stress etc.

9. I attracted my audience by using
bright colours and a clear
colour scheme and bold titles
for the articled that are going
to be in the magazine too. I also
used a relevant picture for the
cover and the person in the
picture is looking directly at the
reader making eye contact which
address the reader. I used a pun
to attract the audience too.
I also used ‘you’ on the cover so
it directly addresses the reader
and makes them want to read
more.

10. Designing my magazine I have
learnt that Microsoft Publisher
is very limited when it comes to
designing the magazine and I was
very restricted in what I could
and couldn’t do with my cover.

11. For the research and planning
part of the preliminary task I
would give myself a mark of 13
level 3.
I give myself because I have
clearly gained an idea of the
type of audience that I am
targeting with my magazine and
I have explored different
articles other than based on
school life to show a clear
understanding of what the
audience expects and have got
opinions of the target audience.
I have also explored existing
products that could help me to

12. For the production of my
magazine I would give myself 37
marks a level 3.
This is because I think that I
have made my magazine
appropriate for my target
audience and used the correct
language for the audience. I
have used a range in different
fonts and text sizes on my
cover and contents page. I have
used a medium close up picture
on the cover and it is relevant
to the magazine. The tops I’ve
used in my magazine are
relevant and appeal to the
audience. I’ve used a clear

13. For the Evaluation I give
myself a mark of 13 marks
level 3.
I give myself this because I
have shown proficient
understanding of what I have
done well in my production
stage and used powerpoint to
shown my evaluation. I think I
have shown understanding how
to make my main task better
than the preliminary.
To improve this mark I could
communicate my findings better
and maybe use a better ICT
