Contents of my magazine

Due to having such a large audience for my magazine I need to include things for all different types of people that will read my magazine. I will include all the information about teaching training days and important dates that teachers and parents will want to read about. It is going to include things for a range of different types of people by including games, facts, pictures and funny stories about teachers that will catch people’s eye and make them want to read my magazine. I will use catchy and memorable head lines/strap lines to make sure that I’m attracting the correct audience for my magazine. If I make my magazine interesting and different from other ones by including a range of different competitions and information that other magazines do not offer then it will mean that more and more people will look and read my magazine. 

Audience for my magazine

The audience of my magazine will be children, adults and teachers who’s ages are 11 plus. My magazine needs to be suitable for all these different types of people because it will be read by a vast amount of people, so my magazine needs to include things for everyone for example it needs to have mini games in it so that people in year 7 upwards will be interested in reading it whereas it also needs to be appropriate for someone that is a parent of the child so needs to include all the important dates that will be needed. If I make my magazine suitable for everyone then hopefully people will read it and recommend it to other people as well.The audience of my magazine will be children, adults and teachers who’s ages are 11 plus.

Final Masthead

I chose this logo idea as my final masthead instead of choosing any of my other ideas because this masthead involves the schools name which is Plantsbrook School which shows the people that read it that the magazine is proud of the school and shows that all information inside the magazine will link to the masthead which is everything Plantsbrook related, I chose these colour's red, white and black because they are the schools colour's which are used on everything that the school does and uses. Using this masthead on all my school magazine product will make the target audience of the magazine notice what my magazine is about because its different then the other school magazines that are on offer. Due to the masthead being so recognizable than others that are on the market students, parents and teachers will be able to see my magazine and decide whether they like it from past issues that they may have read.  

My School Magazine Masthead Ideas

When creating mastheads the important things to include were making sure that the colour scheme matched with the rest of the magazine and linked in with the colours that are used by Plantsbrook Academy School to make sure that everyone including people that were visiting the school were able to see straight away that the magazine linked in with the school itself. Another thing that was important to include was to make sure that the masthead ideas had some sort of link in with the school name, because linking in with the school name made it easier to think up with ideas for the masthead. For example the word Tetradio means school in Greek. 

Labelled Magazine (Q Adele) Cover

I labelled the Q front cover which had image of Adele on the front of it. I labelled all the parts of a magazine such as the Masthead, Puff/Starburst and Headline. All these different things will need to be included in my magazine when I come to designing and producing it, if I include all these different things then I know that my magazine will be professional and at a high standard, such as magazines that are already being produced such as Q.
