Plan of preliminary task

The target audience for my school magazine will be 16-19 year olds, from year 11's - year 13's as it is going to be a sixth form magazine. The idea of year 11's being part of my target audience is because it is trying to encourage them to join the sixth form by including things about sixth formers aswell. The idea of sixth formers being another half of the target audience is to inform them of upcoming events within the sixth form, or things that people have achieved.

The language for this magazine will be more informal because of the age group, using more simple language that they are likely to use themselves.

The content will include things going on within the sixth form - maybe a sporting event or a music event - something a pupil has done or achieved and maybe some entertainment, like a small quiz.

The images I will use will be of pupils within the sixth form, or the actual sixth form itself. The front cover will contain an image of a pupil for the most part of it, who has done something in a particular subject. It would be larger because it is something likely to attract someone to the magazine.
The font and colour of the magazine would also have to attract the audience, so to make it eyecatching I would make it colourful so that it's likely to be noticed.
