My School Magzine


Target Audience


The audience i will be targeting with my magazine is mostly girls as Hitchin Girls School is an all girls school, however the sixth form is mixed so i will also be targeting boys aswell. The age range of my target audience will be 11-18, which means it will appeal to all year groups from year 7 to year 13.


Masthead


I tried to make my mast head different by having all the letters seperate in their own boxes.



I think this makes it a bit more interesting and it may appeal to the target audience which is young people, as it's not just plain normal text like a newspaper. I have decided to use navy blue and white to match with the school logo, and it also matches the cover of the magazine as in the image i have used the model is wearing a navy blue apron.

Text

I will use informal language in my magazine because its important the target audience can relate to the information. If i made the language formal, the magazine would be more likely to appeal to an older audience such as the teachers or pupils parents. This isnt the audience i'm targeting, so i think its important that its informal as this is the type of language young people understand, and will want to read.

This is my final magazine cover for the preliminary task.
