The document describes the design and layout of a school newsletter created to follow conventions of the genre while appealing to a target audience of sixth form students. Key elements included a title, date, issue number, school logo and motto on the front cover. The contents page listed topics in a quirky, fun font with smiley faces and bubble numbers. A double page spread included related articles and images to engage the target audience. The creator aimed to balance conventions with unconventional, creative elements to appeal to sixth form readers.

1. FRONT COVER:
I tried to follow the conventions of school newsletters through the use of images, articles and other
features. I followed the convention of a newsletter through using a title which usually appears at the
left-hand side of the front cover. I also ensured that I included the school logo, date, issue number
and the schools motto. I used the date and issue number as these are conventions which are seen on
many school newsletters. I also used the schools motto and logo to address my target audience - the
Sixth Form. I also used a collection of articles and images which is a conventionalised feature of
many school magazines.
CONTENTS PAGE:
I sign posted the top left side of the page, writing 'Contents Page', this is conventionally shown like
this in many school new letters. However i tried to adjust the appearence of the conventional block
font, so i decided to edit the font to make it appear quirky and fun by straying from the conventional
block font and adding a smiley face to the 'o', addressing my audience by making my newsletter fun
and creative. On the left-hand side of the page I listed the topics and information chronologically in
which the information will appear. However, instead of using the conventional number listing, i
decided to make it more fun and use spikey bubbles, again in order to address my target audience

2. through doing something unconventional and creative. I also added multiple images in which related
to the information which was going to feature in the news letter.
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD:
I followed the general layout of a double page spread of a schools newsletter, including articles and
images in accordance to the articles. I also tried to relate to my target audience by using a variety of
photographs and pictures, to attract their attention.
