Audience and Contents

Audience 

The magazine is focused towards students at plantbrook school, this means teenagers from the age of 11 to 18 would want the get it. To make my magazine suitable for teenagers I would have to use relevant titles and mastheads, appropriate images should be used to attract the students so the magazine must look interesting. Staff would also read the magazine so the layout and colours can't be too childish it must look advisable, so over the top colours and unprofessional looking layouts wouldn't be suitable.

Contents 

The contents will need to include page numbers relevant information about the magazine that is linked to the headers or the information inside the magazine with suitable images and text. The magazine must be appropriate so the students can understand it, the layout must be simple and professional. Colours and layout must be matching the front cover to make the magazine look better and organised, page numbers must include specific titles about the suitable page.
