2. In my magazine I used many traditional
conventions of a magazine for example a barcode
which is used as a code to read the price through
the till. I also used mastheads to catch the
attention of possible readers, main image and a
logo (of the school symbol).
3. On my front cover I have represented students as
happy, well dressed and friendly students to
show how despite my magazine being made for a
school it still involves an aspect which is directed
to make it seem more appropriate to school
friendship groups. The magazine is trying to
show everyone how good the school is and how
nice the school is so it leaves a good impression
on the people who read it.
4. Due to my magazine being for a school it will not
be distributed by a publisher. It will be made by
staff or students at the school as well as printed
and distributed.
5. My magazine is aimed at ages 11+ because It will
be distributed in a secondary school (Beaverwood
School for Girls) where it is available to both
students and teachers. This means it has to be
aimed at a more mature audience using more
complex language as well as colloquial. When the
students take the magazine home there parents
will also see so the magazine is used to show the
best parts of the school.
6. I attracted my audience by using bold, colour
fonts which will catch the audiences eye when
walking past which will make them want to read
the magazine. My main image creates a friendly
feel to the magazine which students can relate to
meaning they will want to find out more about
what the magazine consists of. Finally I used
strap lines to draw people into the most exciting
articles in the magazine.
7. I used four main technologies (PowerPoint,
Photoshop, word and blogger) to help create my
media product. In the future I am confident that I
would be able to use my new knowledge to create
an even stronger magazine.
