My first preliminary task is to produce a school magazine using original photos and the codes and conventions of magazines. I have to produce a front page and a contents page. My school magazine needs to attract my targeted audience using suitable colours, layouts and the type of articles that will interest the audience. The target audience is the students and their parents-it will be reasonable challenging to target both as they would have different opinions and ideas that attract them and I have to use appropriate images, colour schemes and complete this task with a dead line. My magazine will need to look realistic and be interesting to read and contain all original content. The purpose of school magazines is to represent the school and the make the school sound great and positive. They also inform parents what has been happening recently in the school as well as the students.



I will start this process by looking at a variety of other school's magazines to get ideas for my front page, contents page and article ideas. Also, I will annonate the magazines which will help me with the codes and conventions. I will research the types of articles and images that would appeal to not only teenagers/students but also the parents.
