Preliminary task: Chosen Masthead

The High comes from Biddulph High school, but also ties in with fashion; because of this masthead my magazine slogan will be: Fashion gets an education.

Preliminary task: Article/Subheading Ideas

Subheadings commonly known as articles are one of the main pull factors of a magazine, they can be the deciding factor on if a person buys a magazine or not.
Here are my article ideas:

• 5 outfits, 5 days
• 100 budget buys!
• Celebrity inspired looks
• 25% off....
• Oh no!... its compulsory
• Pupils Opinions

Preliminary task: Fonts

The above are the fonts that  I have collected from Dafont.com and 1001 Free Fonts. I have chosen these fonts because they are unique and when combined with my colour scheme will have a dramatic effect on the reader. In addition to this these fonts are also suitable for my target audience.

View more presentations from amber_foster.

In my media lessons it has been requested that I evaluate two  front covers of school magazines and two contents pages of school magazines, this has given me a range of ideas and expectations for my own school magazine.

Preliminary task: Colour Schemes

These are the colour schemes I have collected from the internet from a colour scheme generator and a colour scheme site with pre made collections, I have chosen a varied range of colour schemes, personally I believe that none of these colour schemes are biased towards a singular sex. The above colour schemes will also attract my target audience and will contrast well with any pictures added.

Preliminary task: Masthead Ideas

During my Media Studies lessons and at home I have been considering variouse names that could be given to my preliminary task school magazine, here are some of the results:
Essence
Trendsetter
You
Pulse
Colleged
Generation

Uniformal

Preliminary task: Genre and Target Audience

The target audience and genre of my preliminary task are as follows:
Genre- school magazine
Target audience- Pupils aged 16+ who are attending Biddulph High schools 6th form but it could also apply to other pupils who have to wear a uniform in their college.

I have chosen this target audience because I am a pupil my self so I have a vast knowledge of what my generation wants to gain from a school magazine.
